It provides a different goal to reach each week, the constant setting of PR's, and helps to keep from getting stuck. Eventually it can be expanded even further with a 5/3/1 6/4/2 scheme where in the second round more reps are completed with the same weight before moving on. I am not there yet but eventually the presses will slow to that point.
