For me hopefully at no particular time. I try to make sure every rep looks the best it can. If something is off on one I try to make adjustments on the next one. I try not to let fatigue be a factor on how the reps turn out, besides slowing down at some point of course. Not sure if that answered your question.

I try not to let fatigue be a factor on how the reps turn out, besides slowing down at some point of course. Not sure if that answered your question. I think you got it for the most part. The reason I asked is because if I'm mid-set and notice something feels off, I'll generally try and mentally correct for the next rep and if that one feels off again, I rack it. But when I'm above 85% (roughly) that range is generally under 5 reps and I'm wondering whether that's a "your mileage may vary" in a person-to-person sense. Your rep ranges in heavier weight seem higher than mine which is what got me thinking about it.

Your rep ranges in heavier weight seem higher than mine which is what got me thinking about it. I think a good approach would be to consider all reps equal as opposed to a mindset where you expect form deterioration after a certain number of reps. Racking it is definitely a good idea if something is clearly off or if there is a pop or sudden pain. Otherwise I think it's better to push through on sets that have troubled reps with a mindset of "I won't let the form of the last rep or fatigue prevent me from making the next rep perfect." During my last squat session I actually took a step back on a 6th rep but I regained my balance and completed the 8 reps before racking the weight. I think this shows mental toughness which I'm sure you know is a requirement for high level lifting.

04-21-17 Friday
Bench 330X3 290X5 290X5
Standing overhead strict press 175-2X5
Dips 155X6 155X5
One arm french press 40-2X15 each arm
One arm full front delt raise 25-2X10 each arm
I tried squatting Wednesday but I was a little too worn out so I called it before even finishing warmups. I don't like how I'm currently squatting 4 days after deadlifts and 2 days after mid and upper back work. I'm going to move squatting to right before back work instead of right after and see how that goes.

I've actually started pulling twice a month since like Feb which gives me two days a week to squat one week, and a volume squat day the other week. Not exactly what you're getting at I know, but it's actually allowed me to move my numbers back to the realm of respectable on both lfts without feeling burnt out.

Those snatch grip deads are murderous on your lumbars after the other stuff. Good work there.

Back again. I've made arrangements within my business so that hopefully it's for good this time. Only exercised a couple of times since the layoff in May besides another solid month of ab work leading up to today. Deadlift is shockingly low to start but it was pain free so I'll take it.
Squat 440 Bench 305 Deadlift missed 475
