311,

From what it looks like, you're doing 3 work sets?

I find it hard to even do two work sets. Once I'm warmed up and I've done my weight acclimation sets, I give it my all on the work set for 4-6 and I'm done. When I try it again, I am so wasted that my next set is 2-3 reps fewer than the first one. Even when I've tried lowering the weight, the second set was always so dismal because I blew my wad on that first set so hard.

Are you training to failure on that first set? Max-OT talks about a muscle memory where your muscles remember the last set from the last workout. That's why he doesn't recommend a lighter pump set because the body remembers that last set. I'm just wondering if those two or three extra sets if necessary.
