Them's the breaks. It goes like that sometimes. You'll have to cut back the intensity because if you don't you'll prob just find it getting worse. Don't worry there is always a way to go.

Anyway the idea was to just go for a new max. This looked more like you were trying to gather singles. If you are going to go for 165 you wouldn't normally precede that with 155. If you had skipped over the 155, failed at 165 you prob would have had a good chance of hitting the 165 after resting again. When you get strong enough at a particular lift, sometimes a failed attempt is actually a good acclimation for a next attempt. But your last acclimation was way too close to your attempt.

That is not to say that doing it that way doesn't ever work for the right person at the right time. My body actually works better that way. I tend to get stronger as I go along and get more and more acclimated. I'd be screwed if I had go all or nothing right off the bat, haha.

But you don't know enought about your body yet to be doing acclimations 10 pounds away from your attempt.

BTW, I really don't like OH presses EDT style coming after your CNS intensive pressing.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
