Back when I was still power cleaning all my presses, I would often miss 3-4 cleans and then make the fifth.<br /><br />I also kinda get a mental boost from rocketing up a weight and then "only adding 5 more pounds" to it. The press is concentric-only and I'm only doing singles, so it's not very tiring. If I tried small jumps on the bench press or squat, on the other hand, I'd be fried by the time I finished warming up.Fatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077817670776459628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775547849492453021.post-89312948871408098882015-05-22T21:54:04.829-07:002015-05-22T21:54:04.829-07:00I'm always paranoid that if I do too many warm...I'm always paranoid that if I do too many warm-ups that I'll tire myself out before my bigger lifts. Or I get worried the weight just before my working sets will feel too heavy and I'll psyche myself out. It's a fine line that I almost always question in my head especially before going for a PR. Tire myself out, or not get a good warm-up in. Its good that you were able to recover from the missed set and work your way back up.MichiganMethodhttp://michiganmethod.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775547849492453021.post-87767185316959756062015-05-22T07:30:31.163-07:002015-05-22T07:30:31.163-07:00The same thing happened to me yesterday on OHP.
