Looking good
What the whole routine look like?
It all depends on how I feel when I hit the gym. I listen to my body and if I'm too tired, I do only 2 to 3 exercises per muscle. I tried several routines so far but I get bored very easily and I like to change the way I lift regularly. One thing stays the same: I want to increase the weight each time.

I had a chat with the gym owner and he told me that it's important to work in a comfort zone. What's your opinion about this?
 
i guess it depends on the definition of comfort zone, as in comfortable u can do something without hurting your self yeah i agree, but i also like to push myself through being comfortable on sets and weight or w/e it is i am working out but im always safe and know i am not going to be hurting myself

From what I understood, it's working out at 60% of my max most of the time and once in a while increase the weights.

basically all i go by is the first set i can do 10 where i start to struggle by the end but i can do it without really struggling then i increase the weight and pyramid down, so by the end of all my other sets im really struggling near the end but i can do it all safely on my own

I have to get used to the idea of de-loading. I focus on form and intensity right now.

when i say pyarmid down i mean to decrease reps and add weight now thats for me im not sure of your goals but a rule of thumb in what ever ur doing is to be struggling near the end and pushing yourself
