Everyone who posted knows exactly what they are talking about and have givien you great advice. Like Eric said, if he would not have been able to pick up the weight he would just waited more time to start his set. I think that is the right way to go.

Pending me not getting an exertional headache, I have a certain amount of reps I plan to do and I finish them no matter how long it takes. Even if I get stuck and not finish a set, i just stop and get myself together and finish the reps so that set is complete.

You also have to start out with a weight that you feel as though you can at least come close to finishing. If you finish and you feel as though you could have done more............ do more the next week.


In my opinion more weight is does less for you if you cant complete the reps. If you stayed with that 305 the whole 5 sets that would be 1525 pounds lifted total. now that you went form 305 to 315 and only did 3 sets that was 935 pounds.

All in all to me its like picking a fight. Stay with the weight you can beat completely, then move on up.
