When asked how many push-ups the "Champ" could do, Muhammid Ali answered "6". The reporters were flabbergasted that the World Heavyweight Champion could do only six reps. When pressed, Ali gave them the real answer..."I only start counting the reps when they hurt."
When I asked for the AMRAP sets or "As many reps as possible" too many would quit WAY too soon. Depending on the speed and rhythm of the sets, I can usually predict how many are left in the athlete's tank. Today was no exception.
It's either that or when I say that a person has "X" amount of reps left, a seed gets planted in the participant's head and THAT is all they can do.
Mabey it's a bit of BOTH
