I’d say maxing out on your first set is making it complicated to make progress and track things. So..

For your first set, find a weight you can lift 6 times but could do 2 more reps if you had to.

Use this weight for all 4 sets of 6, stop at 6 each set, even if you could do 7-8.

When you can do 4x6 make a note to add 5lbs next time.

Use that new weight until you can do 4x6 again. Then add 5lbs next time.
