I got a question for you guys.
If you are doing an exercise with 4 sets, is it normal for failure to come at earlier reps later in the exercise? Obviously, you are going to be getting more and more tired as you continue, but should I be dropping the weight if I can't complete the same amount of reps per set?
I'm not sure if I explained it clearly enough but here is an example of DB shoulder press today:
Set 1: 40lbsx12
Set 2: 40x10 (failure)
Set 3: 40x8
Set 4: 40x8
Why not increase the weight and drop the amount of reps. If you want to go for failure, I would do those on the last set.
