wear a thermal shirt during those sets, if possible. Sweatshirt would be better unless you get too hot (i would).

i typically wear a thermal when i do front squats, if not (like today, i wore a t-shirt too damn hot), i'll end up with red bruises on each front delt.

i wrap a towel around the bar when i do smith machine calf raises if i'm wearing a sleeves at that time.
