The past couple of times I've been in the gym I've done some workouts that specifically called for an exercise rep to failure as the last exercise of the routine. For instance finish with decline pushups 3 sets to failure and today weighted dips 3 sets to failure.
I noticed on both workouts that the first set I failed at say 25 reps, then the 2nd set I crapped out at like 30 reps, then the 3rd at like 22.
Same thing happened with the dips today. Anyone know why this happens?
Logically I would think as I progressed through the sets I would be able to do less reps, not more. Of course I have found little "logical" with my body!
