I’m not scott (still, lol) but how far you’ll have to drop the weight will vary for different body parts, set types, and exercises. I really struggle to feel quads as the primary engine in high bar squats, for example, until I’m going 15 reps plus. On the other hand, I can lock in on them on a good leg press almost regardless of weight. I don’t feel triceps well going super heavy or super light. YMMV.
I would start by picking exercises that you feel well, then work on getting very good at them, then work on getting very strong at them. Every so often you may find that you lose the feel once you’ve progressed the log book to a certain extent, and at that point you could either do a Matt Jansen (keep the exercise in, but pull the weight back 15-25% and really focus on execution and feel) or switch the exercise for another.
