I don’t like to go by percentages, unless I am in-season and just want to maintain strength. I think you would be better off just following a “go by feel” approach, so basically a variation of the max-effort method. Set a rep range (preferably between 1-5 for the big exercises) and then work up to a rep max.

max effort is not not needed to gain max strength and has too much strain on the CNS for a track athlete…IMO it better for track athlete to stay in the 70% -85% range…
