I would like some opinions on this:
I am at a point with my flat db presses that I struggle to get started with my reps. I can get into position to begin my set, but I need help from a spotter on my first rep. Once I get that first rep up, I can pump out another 7 or 8 reps on my own (well, I usually need the spotter for my last rep or two). I can control the weights when I am done with my set, so they don't crash to the floor.
My question is, should I use less weight so I can do that first rep without any help, or am I fine with what I'm doing? Without help from a spotter, I would not be able to get started on my set.
