Yeah they’d be real sore
No they would be running weight that is light enough for 10 reps which is too light for gains from my experience.

Good to mix it up though.

It depends what you're working on. 1-3 is good for peak strength prep, 3-6 is solid for strength training, 6-15 is good for hypertrophy, the 15+ range is good for metabolites, the most important part is making sure your weight is appropriate.

I disagree. 10 reps aren’t easy and can give the best gains if weighted properly in my experience. I usually add weight every other set.

Aye I used to do heavy weight too, but I hurt my neck really bad and ever since then I don’t go too heavy (in terms of for me)

Over all I agree with the exercise selection though. I'd personally probably only do one of the versions of flat, I like dumbbells myself since you can get more range of motion. I'd also personally like to see skull crushers superset with close grip bench for triceps instead of one of the extension variants, that shit burns my tris at the end of chest / tris days.

For squats I start with 1 plate for a set of 5. Then add a plate for a set of 5. Then add 25lbs for a set of 5. Then I take the 25's off and put another plate (so three 45lb plates on each side, 315 total) for a set of around 3-4. Then another set of 315lbs for 3-4 reps. Then I take a 45lb plate off and do a slower set of 5, focusing on slowing down the downward descent movement of the rep. I'm one of the only people at the gym who have ever tried doing a slow (on the descent) squat, they're pretty brutal, but I believe they do a lot for strength building. Then I take a 45lb off (so just 1 45lb on each side) and do 3 sets of front squats

I picture like a pyramid, I'm slowly increasing the weight to the top of the pyramid, then slowly coming down

I transition to deadlifts from there and just do 5-6 sets of 8-10 reps of two 45's on each side. I could easily do 3-4 plates on each side but my grip is fucked from having past wrist/elbow injuries so I'd need straps at that point. And one time I hurt my back trying to do heavy deads so lately I just don't bother as much. I am still ironing out the kinks on my deadlift form, and I need to have a mirror on my side to make sure my back is flattened, because I have a natural kind of arch

For bench I start with a 45 on each side for a set of 5, then add 25lbs for another set of 5, then two 45's for another set of 5. Then I add a 10lb, which lately has felt like dense collapsing star amount of weight for some reason, I only do a set of 2ish and then I'm taxed

For most other lifts, the sweet spot for me is about 6-8 reps. The only time I do high reps is cable work
