For me it feels like a fine line between warming up correctly, not using to much energy when warming up. especially when benching.
I feel burnt out on bench, sometimes before I even lift heavy. but with squats and deads even though I feel more exhausted after a lift, given a couple of mins I can lift it again.
so how do you guys with some big numbers under your belt work up to hitting those numbers without burning out before you get there. is it a case of get there quick with a few moderate lifts, or plenty of light weight lifts, or a bit of both?
just to throw a spanner in the works, what do you think of this. the other day I was training with an old friend who I've not trained with for a while, we were being all macho pushing the weights up as you do, we went from deadlifts straight into bench pressing we weren't quite going into 1RM territory but it was quite heavy. anyway the weight felt so much lighter than it does when I bench only... is this the central nervous system coming into play. I.e. because I had been lifting nearly double on the deadlift?
eitherway do you think its a good idea to start a heavy session with another lift? particualy when your doing benchpress?
cheers guys
