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.

What % of your 1RM is that?

I understand getting tired on the amrap set. That's kinda the point. But if it's a heavy weight for you there could be nothing wrong.
