For whatever reason, some days my workout just doesn't turn out as I had planned. Last night I didn't sleep well and just felt weaker than usual throughout the day.
When I went to the gym and started my routine, it was obvious that I wouldn't be able to lift as heavy of weights or complete as many reps as I would have preferred.
So my question is on days like this, should I maintain the same weight and do less reps or should I lower my weight down to where I am able to stay in my normal rep range?

I say tweak it however you wish. But personally, when I get days like this, I just do 1 set for every exercise until failure, then finish my workout with some light cardio. At the end of the day, you could've skipped a workout - yet instead, you came to do SOMETHING, which is way better than NOTHING.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.
