I think that for force it is necessary to do pyramids.
One constant weight - it is wrong.
In the first approaches there is not enough work.
In the last - it is too heavy.

It is necessary to raise smoothly weight on a barbell, having left the hard work on the latest approach.

Then force will increase.
