If your form and/or range of motion are a constant variable, then there aren’t any programming hacks that are going to fix your training.
All programming rests on the assumption that the execution of the exercises you do are the same week to week.
Squatting 225x5 to depth and squatting 245x5 two inches high is not a strength increase and no progress has been made.

There are only 3 guarantees in life…
1) Death
2) Taxes

“Many don’t understand how dark it is inside a burning house,” Brent said. “You simply move toward the glowing fire – you are stumbling and sometimes falling over what’s left of somebody’s stuff. It is always interesting to go back in afterwards, to see what you got hung up on. But since I’ve been training, I do have an extra ten minutes of air. That’s been helpful.”

My favorite IQ Bodybuilder-oriented people be like:
"I don't bench brother, too unstable and doesn't isolate my pecs"
Then they proceed to do dumbbell presses, which are inherently unstable and don't isolate the pecs.
