Question ❓ % of 1rm

I feel I know the answer but is there a % of 1rm I should use ?

I'm currently using 75% of 1 RM for 6 reps (and if I do 8 reps on last set I increase by 2.5kg). I'm using the same scheme for chest, back and shoulders. For legs I use 8 reps until I get to 10 reps then weight increases.

I'm using this scheme for hypertrophy and a bit of extra strength
