I've always done well when doing two days a week training as well.
If I was doing a lift only once a week I would mostly do the heavier weight until I felt I needed to change. The heavier weight would still be something I could do 7 reps with, so not very heavy.
To be honest, very little thought went into programming. By little, I mean none apart from I knew what exercises I would be doing. I didn't plan anything else in advance. I'm not claiming this is smart.
If I wanted to peak for a certain event like a powerlifting comp, or I wanted to test a one rep max I would plan my training more.
There's nothing special about just training with big plates. It just kept things simple and I enjoyed training like this.
I focus more being consistent, nutrition, recovery outside the gym (sleep, stress etc) and actually training hard. When I'm not making progress it's usually because I'm slacking on one of those.
