That's absolutely correct. I workout with a trainer (I know how most people on this forum feel about trainers but, I know I don't know how to do things properly with the right form so I have a trainer and it works for me) and we start heavy (enough to where I have proper form) and as soon as my form goes south, I get stopped right then and there immediately and we lower the weight. We start with higher weight at first, then I start getting fatigue throughout the workout, and so we have to lower the weight to keep my form correct. Sometimes we even have to come down to an embarrassing weight but, I have to do the routines properly with the correct form, it's the most important thing according to my trainer.

I have no idea what hes doing where he's starting with lower weight and building up to higher weight. My trainer has me do the opposite because when you first start, your muscles aren't as fatigue you can do more reps, you can do more weight etc. but throughout the workout you start tearing your muscle fibers and you start getting fatigue so you are able to do less it gets harder. You must not be tearing down your muscle fibers properly if you are actually getting heavier as you go a long. Just my guess, I'm no expert and always learning, anybody can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Its called ramping the weight. You build up to the weight to get warmed up and get used to the load. Jumping straight into a max weight is dangerous as hell when you start hitting some big weights.
 
Just to put into perspective just how pathetic your squatting is.... I am very dissapointed with my squatting power and this is how my squats look like:
warmup 135x12-15
135x10
225x5(2)
315x5(2)
Then I hop up to 365 with knee wraps and shoot for 5 I usually get around 4 (and I feel like im going to shit my guts out!!!!)
Now with that being said I am embarassed to say that 365 is very heavy with proper form, slow down, slow squeeze up.... BUT I GUARANTEE I could throww 500 on the smith machine all day for pussy reps like that and not feel it the next day. What a chode.

EDIT: Everyone is just asking you to please. Take a huge step back. Look at your routine, your form, your diet, and your goals and straigten things out. Drop the weight and get the Mind Muscle connection You need to squeeze and stretch and feel your muscle working.

AMEN!!! Well said! It's about the form - quality not quantity... do it right... but his ego is so huge and he may never pull his head out of his ass! Sad but true, eventhough it is quite entertaining to read his posts... diet 80%, exercise 15% and gear 5%... it's not about poking everything on the planet and hope for miracles! Hard work, discipline and dedication shows and definately pays off...

And I know how the ego thing works, when some one lifting heavier weights than me in the gym its soooo hard not to pick up something heavier and try to rep it out. But I know my limits, I literally just dont look at other people when I'm in the gym and focus on myself and jam out to some music. Like on the elypticals for cardio w/ the tv's I never turn on the tv I just stare at my reflection in the tv and think of who I want to be. It pisses me off and motivates the shit out of me. Im telling you Matt, I'm sure we have all been there at one point in time with ego ilfting.... you just dont see the results, you get injured, and look like shit. You can do better!

when I'm on the bench it's at 275 :P

tell me about it LMAO.... I used to run a directional drilling crew, one of my new laborers (who looked like a total puss) claimed he could also bench 275.... (must be a popular # for nonlifters....) anyways he couldnt even lift one of the 90 pound drill stem off the machine HAHAHAHA
