That's okay, too. It's impossible to go 100% all of the time. What I meant by not half-assing it is that if I don't perform up to my potential for that day, I'll feel like I cheated myself.
Everyone has days where they just can't lift as much. I can recognize those days pretty quickly. But that's okay. It happens. What I DON'T want to do in that situation is to say to myself "Well, you're already doing not-so-great... why don't you skip a set or go home early?" That would piss me off. I still put in the work. Even though I may not lift as much weight, I'll do as much as I physically can that day, knowing that the next workout can only be better.
