Lower your volume? Get a training partner/spotter? Don't go to failure? Lower weight?

**Josh1223** · 02-09-2013, 11:36 AM

What's your back/bi routine look like?

Pretty much the reason, set a rep range, and try to hit that rep, only go to failure on last set.

**AlexV27** · 02-09-2013, 11:41 AM

are you eating enough?
are you sleeping enough?
still motivated enough? or do you feel lethargic
when was the last time you took a deload? it sounds like you may need one and give your body/mind some rest

aight, its just so damn tempting to go to failure for the last rep humongous burn lol. But yeah very much think its that. Btw can going to failure pretty much always for like 3-4 months cause shoulder tenderness/pain? Just thinking if it damages some nerves or summin..

Take a break, get your mind right.

My workout was good but my form was a bit sloppy. I guess it was cause I got to the gym later than usual and was in a bit of a rush. My form wasn't dangerous or anything just a bit inefficient.

Your injury is caused by a fail exercise, I assume.

1 more question, if i try to go for e.g 8 reps. And i notice 8 reps is basically so that its the absolute failure? should i just set the reps to 6? or what

This... its hard at first to get used to it.. but with higher volume its the way to go.

Also OP take a week off... sometimes your body just needs a week of nothing to repair and recover.

**Nosferalto** · 02-09-2013, 12:19 PM

You should not be going to failure frequently. This is why you are having bad workouts. Just take a day off and remember not to use the failure card very often (only on the last set of your workout and not everyday imo)

edit: ^ wizard above got it right as well

**CoolCoco** · 02-09-2013, 12:26 PM

If you struggle abit on 7, then don't do 1 more, that's failure.

I mean i work my way to 5 reps, then when i add weight i get 1-2 reps so basically im going to failure. How can i add weight without going to failure? i mean i have to work my way to up the reps, right?
