Here is my issue, today was my final workout in the 10's. I should be using my 10RM for 2 sets. in doing this i can get the first set down, but the second set for the same amount of reps is so so hard, and prolonging the rest between sets can only be taken so far in trying to get out of there in a reasonable time. so this is what is happening with me.
I do the first set for 10 reps. then my next set usually ends up at about 8 reps, then i take a quick rest, and do 2 more reps, equaling the total of 10 reps with a mini cluster. so when doing those rep max workouts for 10's and 5's is it ok to cluster the 2nd and in some cases 3rd sets to reach the prescribed number, or should i lower the weight to where its really my 10rm on the second set?
im thinking i can go heavier on most of my maxes if im not thinking about that 2nd or 3rd set.
thanks for taking the time to answer alot of my questions everyone, i really appreciate it.
