This week I'm testing all my max's as instructed by the program before SD. Today I tested all of my 15rm's and found that during the workout especially at the start to mid session during the compound exercises. That i was feeling to a certain degree exhausted, trying to catch my breath and finding it also harder to focus on the mind muscle connection during the exercises. Nearing the end when more iso exercises were used i felt a little bit better.
Just want to make sure I'm not making any mistakes.

The exercises with null values were completed however an assistance machine was used and i need to re-evaluate how i'm going to incorporate it as the assisted force is inconsistent. I can do 9 underhand body weight chinups, however i needed to set the assistance to 180lb for wide grip chin ups to perform 15.
Also, do abs apply to the same HST principles or can I work them to fatigue every session given their recovery rate?
Just want to make sure I'm not making any mistakes.
