    musclular endurance during sets

    hey mates....well heres the thing...im in the middle of a set of db press and the first 5 or so im pumping the weight out pretty easily and by the looks of it i can increase in weight and what not but by the time the 6th -7th rep comes along i can barely get it up...now i know that will happen but its supposed to happen gradually throughout the set, and not jsut happen the rep after 5 easy reps....am i doing something wrong? or is it jsut my muscular endurance lacking.

    p.s. this usually only happens during pressing exercises. ie. shoulder press incline,flat press all with dumbbells.

    It sounds like you are hitting "the wall"... it is not uncommon, and will happen more often than not if you are pushing yourself. Use a spot to get 2-3 forced reps past your failure.
