Unless all your reps are bad, you don't really need to repeat the weight, and anyway, if all your reps are bad, you're probably about to stall for real. So all you're really doing is slowing your progression unnecessarily, but I suspect you know this. Ultimately, if you wanna be anal about how you record your reps, and you are fine with a slower progression, go for it. Doesn't affect anyone but you anyway.
