Thats the bedtime entertainment sorted

A useful thought to keep in mind is that even though your goal is to increase the maximum number of reps you can do in a single set, your path to achieving that goal doesn't need to be made up solely of sets where you hit your max reps.

What worked for me:

(after warming up):

Set 1:
>max reps

Sets 2 - N:
>max reps then rest 90s
>repeat until I do a set where I cannot hit my max

Sets N+:
>max-1 reps
>rest 5 seconds off the bar
>grab bar again and do another rep to bring total to my max

Using this method you ensure that each 'set' has the same total as your max (or even more). So for you it would look like:

Set 1:
>8 reps

Set 2:
>8 reps

Set 3:
>7 reps
>5 seconds resting with your hands off the bar
>1 rep

Set 4:
>6 reps
>5 seconds resting with your hands off the bar
>2 reps

What you'll find mad about this method is how much you gain back during those 5 second rest periods. Even though 5 seconds ago you had absolutely nothing left to give, after 5 seconds with your hands off the bar you WILL be able to hit those final reps.

Using this method you can force every complete 'set' you do to have a total that matches or exceeds your max reps. My max is 12 and at the very end of my workout I'm doing 8, 4, 3 for a 'total' of 15 reps with two very small 5 second breaks in there.

With this method you'll find is that over the weeks and months, the number of continuous max reps you can do in the first set starts to increase, thus acheiving your goal.
