Sometimes this happens, though for me my second lift is my most powerful. Also in comp you get 3 attempts.

Yup. I've failed on an attempt or two before finally hitting a PR before, definitely.

In my experience, I'm usually not as strong after a failure on a max attempt, but there have been times that I've surpassed previous strength immediately afterwards.

You have to increase the weight each time you make an attempt, I believe after the first failure its 15 pounds.
