ok so lets say its chest day and i'm scheduled to do 4 exercises say bench, incline, decline, and cable cross.

my goal is to do 4 sets: 12/10/8/6 reps, increasing weight each time. ok lets say i nail it with like 135 155 185 205 - able to hit each rep without the spotter having to touch anything. then im just totally beat and now its incline time and i can barely do 135 2 times? what do i do? do i lower it to like 65 95 115 135? if so then wtf do i have to start with a different exercise each time? or do i just lower my first exercise to make sure i have enough strength for the 3 other exercises?

thanks!

lower it for incline if you want to stick to your routine

personally, your pyramid seems pretty useless, if you can do 6x205, 135x12 is too easy and doesnt really count as a set, more as a warmup

why is my muscular stamina shitty af. like after i do 205 x 6 i can't do any more chest ....

How long are you waiting in between reps?

Muscle fatigue is gonna happen regardless, if I were you I'd just hit bench hard on Monday, then Incline hard Wednesday(Thursday) whenever you do it, and switch it up that way if it's really bothering you.

between reps? i do a constant motion prolly takes 3-4 secs to go up and back down.

between sets? 45-60 secs

between exercises? 3-5 min?

Yeah I worded that wrong, but you answered right. I'd just rotate then because I honestly have no other advice since I run in to the same problem. Lower weight with more reps may condition you to be able to get more reps at a higher weight, though? Don't quote me on that though.

if u want to keep high weight, just do a standard 4 set 5 reps with like 3 min breaks between sets for example

lower rest destroys all ability to lift shit after a couple sets, am also in the same boat, but only since hyp routine

Change it up. If you feel like you're missing out on your Incline because your flat takes up all your energy, then next time you do chest start with incline.

If your bench is variable and you can change between flat and Incline then try alternating. That's what I did today. Rest time went from about a minute up to 3 minutes as the weight got heavier.

Flat - 35 x 10
Inc - 35 x 10

Flat - 45 x 10
Inc - 45 x 10

Flat - 55 x 10
Inc - 55 x 10

Flat - 65 x 10
Inc - 60 x 10

Flat - 75 x 8
Inc - 65 x 6

Flat - 80 x 6
Inc - 70 x 5

Flat - 85 x 2
Inc - 70 x 3

i enjoyed dis tred

Try either rotating exercises on chest day or count your rest period between reps.

Most people start with bench because of how much can you bench.

Also, do you supplement or use a kind of pre-workout?
