Keep the bar on your back and take a few breaths and keep going. If you're only doing 5 reps geez!

IDK about Hu, but I'm following a program that calls for 2 sets of 5 reps followed with an amrap. The 2 sets of 5 I can handle, although winded, but the amrap is killer. I get about 5-6 reps in, count to 10 to catch my breath, hit a few more reps, count to 10, hit a few more. But at some point I can't catch my breath anymore, and I get lightheaded and see stars. Thats when I put the weight down.

The weight is going up every workout, so eventually I will hit a point where I do hit failure because muscles can't go anymore.

Well I mean I did 135 to 275 in 10lb increments with a few bigger jumps so that's like 10 + sets so 5 reps of that is kinda tiresome lol

I'm not exhausted but when I do heavy 5's and amraps I have to stop due to exhaust than strength.
