Help with Chest?

[Goose]

Kinda a small question... When I get to my 3rd set of a excersice while doing chest routine, I usually have troubles putting up the first rep w/o a spot, but once I get it up, i'm good for at least 5 more. Do any of you have this problem? Does it have something to do with my breathing on the way down, or just the way i lay back with the weight?

i see some guys/gals that do that also.i think it comes down to being mentally ready.BUT, personally try to find a spotter, injuries suck.train smart.

Definetly go with that spotter . A little help can go a long way .

Use a lighter weight.

I definately always use a spotter, and I'm not sure that they weight is the problem, if I'm always getting at least 5 clean reps up. The reps are done correctly, and with good timing. If I move down weight, I am putting up too many reps for my routine. but thanks a lot, if anyone else has any other ideas, please fill me in.

you are not alone with this problem I have it too sometime and it sucks.........

not sure if it's a good thing that i'm not the only one T.J. but I'd really like to know what's causing this problem. My guess is that it has something to do with tempo or breathing maybe... i don't know
