What do you guys do if you if can't complete a set?

You mean next session or the next set? Cus like if you're too tired to do the last rep it's not likely you'll be able to do it in the next set

Either lower weight for the next set if I have any left. Or be a little emotional bitch and go home. Usually if cutting it's the 2nd

Grunt really loud and drop the weight.

How exactly do you rest? Like do you put the bar back and then wait 5 seconds or if you're like benching do you just leave your elbows locked for 5 secs

This made me laugh more than it should have.

cry later

Rest-pause it

1. Rack weight
2. Take a breather
3. Go to slightly lower weight
4. Power through that

i kill myself because i'm a dyel manlet

All my sets get close to failure anyway so it is eventually expected.

Depends on the lift
What ever position leaves me rested for those few seconds

mark it down as a missed set
try again next time
deload if fail again

taking a break or adding another set is cheating

depends. did i immediately fail the first rep? probably didn't warm up correctly or got off-balance. i'd rest a bit and try the same weight again.

if i can only do 3-4 reps instead of 5? lower the weight and do sets of that.

Okay, theoretically, what if on my 4th set out of 5 of overhead presses I only do 7 out of 8 reps and I'm only lifting the bar? Do I go down to dumbbells? :/

>5x8 as a beginner trying to gain strength

u wot

Rest a couple minutes, crank out a set of three to get some work in, and try again next session that lift is scheduled for.

Uh...

I know, right

Pretend I'm badly injured to save face.

Where I'm going wrong?

Reduce weight by 2.5kg or 5kg depending on the lift and finish the set.

If there is more sets left continue with current weight on the bar.

lower weight and keep going

Deload 5lbs and bust it out. Then be extremely upset for the rest of my workout as it seriously hinders my concentration. Leave gym after workout and be upset for the rest of my day.
Honestly it's unhealthy how upset it makes me.

you want to go 3x5 when you start so you can add 5 pounds to the bar every single session (10 for deadlifts)

Is this going full strength? Cus I wanna go for the sweet spot in the middle of pic related. Swimmer body/ otter mode is what I'm aiming for

Put the weight down safely.

A set is done when I'm finished.

I'm not dumb enough to bind physiological functions that depend on many factors to static numbers

Why do I see Soe on a lot of different boards when she's related to only Dota and esports stuff?

Cus she's gorgeous and I'm obsessed with her, is that good enough for you?

if its the first set lower the weight by 5 and continue

if its 3rd or 4th move on to next lift

I'll assume you are talking about some type of heavy compound lift

next session of course! its not the end of the world to fail a rep/set :)

Then you dont worry about it. 8 isnt a magic number. Do 7 enough times and you will eventually be able to do 8.

Is 5x8 a good ratio if I'm going for the swimmer body?

Sure you can.

Failure is the moment you let will power slip out of your sight for a aplit second

I did that.

slap myself for going to RPE 10 in training

being serious, I slow rep out a decline or something. Anything that has me pushing the muscles groups still and lets me leave exhausted

do some cardio then try again my friend

Try to lower the wait, if that doesn't help kill myself. But who is this semen demon

take 13 scoops immediately and try again with 5 more reps.
