12 10 8 6 is a lot of reps I'd consider working in some lower rep sets with higher weight

I usually do either 10-10-10 or 8-8-8 depending on how much weight I’m trying to do. Would you recommend maybe I adopt like a 10-8-6 and up the weight more?

What I do is, as soon as I reach say 3 sets of 10 with good form, I’ll up the weight and lower the reps. Over time I build up the reps until I can do 3x10 with the new weight, then up the weight again. Usually only by 5 pounds each time.

All natty. Only thing i "take" is a protein shake in the mornings, just normal gold standard whey isolate i think that i put a scoop of aminos in. used to take creatine but it did not agree with me/possibly helped give me gyno.

my goals would be to push more weight. im like 6'3" 185 relatively skinny, ideally would love to get to 195-200. I have lifted for years now, but more or less casually. i hit chest, back, shoulders, legs, arms all seperate, 5 days a week ideally. going on like a year now of being back in the gym post covid. Most exercises i do 4 sets, 12-10-8-6. typically do all the same lifts week in week out, swapping stuff out here and there if the machine/space im looking to use is currently being used. do not track any of it though in depth, just keep note of what i did last in my notes to have proper space between body parts lifted

i workout solo and kinda hate asking for spots, so i kinda do think my issue regarding moving up in weight on some barbell activities could be related to that, but in general i dont move my weight up enough, just not sure if its because i literally cant or if its a mental thing and i just think i cant, but can.
going to start starting my exercises with more weight on the first set to try and see what my capabilities are, and treat last year as my get back.

Let it be known all these strength gains are natural

It's no mystery why people stuck in prison for decades can become big, aesthetic, and strong. They're going to failure with intensity regardless of their access to heavy weights. Strength and size gains can be made in a wide range of reps/weights, the fundamental component is going close to failure ie the intensity.

"Know thyself" said the ancients and I think in this case it's very appropriate. I've nearly got more fractures than fingers and toes, I just can't rock with heavy weights at intensity, but I can hit moderate weights at intensity and slowly build on that. The important thing is to always be trying, always be pushing yourself right up to that edge, and to not slack off on rest/recovery/diet/sleep because that is how the gains are cemented.

i really do love lifting weights for the hour of self-improvement it yields amongst other things. but DAMN i f***ing love a good day off. gaining that extra hour/hour and a half after work to do whatever i want is just a god send.
