You’ve been waiting for the 1RM day to come so you can get a PR on your shoulder press. Warm-up feels pretty good. The build up sets feel alright, but a little heavy. You load up the bar for your last set. Deep breath. Go! You start to make noises that you didn’t know a human could make. No matter how red your face gets, the bar will not go up.
Failure.
No one likes to write that in their journal.
How do you deal with not getting a PR? Do you let it bother you? Do you see it as something to work on?
