The worst thing that happens is you dont perform as many reps as i want. When I find myself in a positon where im not getting enough reps on a given set, I will not add moreweight and use that weight again for the next set because its lower reps. I would never continue adding weight to smaller isolation exercises where form and reps are absolutely crucial.
