    Default failed workout, repeat day after?

    Today I had singles for the press but I was in another gym, I loaded the bar incrementing 5 pounds since the last time I did singles. (three weeks ago)

    I tried 3 times with approriate rest but I didn't get even 1 so I moved into DB benches and LTEs.
    I think that there was a significant difference in what the plates weigh.

    Is there any point doing press singles tomorrow with the usual plates or should I just ignore the training and move on?

    If you did DB Bench and LTE's today, do you think you're going to manage heavy press tomorrow? Just call it a fail, rest, recover, and repeat the weight at your normal gym next time your program calls for presses.

    Why not just deload to the point where you could do a press?

    Good question.
