Yes, a fly movement would have worked well there. Could have been before or after the decline. (Before, for example, if you have trouble feeling your chest on compound movements. You could run the order of those two sets until you plateau and then switch it around and still keep the same exercises on that day.)


Ideally, you'd be warmed up on all exercises for loading sets and then can just to the actual (work) set.

Safety is priority #1, so if you feel like you have to do a couple reps to be in the right might set / groove to do the next exercise, then by all means. Ideally, you don't have to do that. This question has been asked several times, but I don't know of anyone who routinely had felt like they needed to do that. (With pulldowns, it's just moving a pin. With free weights, it would be a PITA.)

Thanks Scott.
I did my failure set on the bent over rows then went and just did a straight set in the 6-12rep range with no warm up as i felt i was warm from the bent over row and i worked off a weight that i used when i previously did back so yeah it was all good.

Really makes you put all your effort in when you know you only have say 2 working sets for say delts as its on 2 exercises too so then you only really have one working set so makes you really try and go for it..

I increased my weight on lat raises today just as i knew i only had one set and tbh i could have gone heavier.

Legs s/sets had me breathing through my asshole but its part of the fun!

Hope that makes sense
