I'm not saying that you cannot make progress with a "standard routine" but while you are doing 5 sets of bench press you could make the same gains with only one set. Instead of training your chest only 1-2 per week you could make faster progress with 4-7 chest training per week.
I'll soon test my 1RM again with a Good Form and I think I'll be able to DL at least 170kg and that's only the begining. At the end of the year I'll DL much heavier, at least 200kg. That's a good challenge but I'm sure that my method will deliever such results.
I have tried the one set stuff and the only lift I have ever got up with 'one' working set after a good warm up is deadlifts, I think it could be possible for squats but for upper body exercises no, well not for me anyway.
While I do belive one working set of Squats and Deadlifts may be possible, I dont for one second belive one working rep would be especially after a tiny warm up (like you do)
Anyway good luck with your 200k Deadlift but I do think (and im sure others here will agree) that you are asking for trouble trying to acheive 200k without any accessory work for your core.
I just hope you dont injure yourself I have done it Deadlifting and its not funny
