Hit another 2 or 3. Rest. Hit some more. Just low rep it. It doesn't have to be long rest periods. Just a little recovery in between. So you end up getting more reps overall. You will leave the gym feeling a little better and you will get a training effect. Then on a better day you can increase the density.
