If we go back to the OP...she can squat ATG at 75 lbs, but not at 85. If I were her and I had nailed all of my reps and sets at 75 with perfect form, then I would try for 80 next time. Maybe in a few workouts, the reps drop and more weight can be added OR maybe the reps increase and weight needs to be dropped. I try to improve upon every workout. This may mean perfecting form, adding weight, adding reps (if called for), etc. The point being to always be challenging my body.
