  1. Don’t train max strength with singles.

  2. If you are doing say 6 heavy sets of 3 reps, you have to use a lower weight than if you were to work up to 1 set of 3 reps.

for me this is maybe a 15kg difference.

And IIRC DW means by the term buffer, bascially, you need to lift within yourself to avoid OT and burnout, and see decent progress with training.

Theres a good discussion of this in Science and Practice in the section on strength terms.
