For a beginner, going the laziest, slowest, lightest way can add 13 to their max estimate in a matter of days.

Later on, that 5 or extra rep may take months to accomplish. They'll need periodization, deloads, two steps back for 3 forward, etc. They will still be 13 stronger after that last rep, doing things the laziest, lightest, and slowest way possible. They will progress by doing things even slower and lighter than a beginner would ever consider.
