You did the right thing.

Part of why I said about stopping and adding more weight is that I've found that people get so caught up in finishing sets that they think it's a sin to abort a set if it is just too light. They are also stuck in the mindset of linear progression. I.E. that's ok if it's too light I'll add more next time. Well, this isn't linear progression AND it's not exactly a loose template. There's a time-frame involved for everything. The reps get reduced next time, etc and so on...

And I know we've had this type of discussion before so I was just re-making that point if only for future reference.

I took advice a good while back on what I should do for my back. I was frustrated with my progress and I did stuff that was against my better judgement. In the back of my mind I was thinking nobody knew MY back better than I did. It was no-one's fault but my own. Long-story short...back 10 times worse and I got to play catch-up and re-hab for a while. Good news is that I learned a lot and my back is better than it was when I was 19..course that's when I screwed it up the first time, lol.

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