Venting AMRAP sets on decline situps are annoying me

[KingOfRome]

Two weeks ago, I started doing AMRAP (as many reps as possible) sets as the last set for every lift except for bicep curls and skullcrushers (which have wide drop sets all AMRAP). Every time, every single time I do an AMRAP for weighted decline situps, it ends up being much, much higher than my target rep count. Two weeks ago on Saturday, I did them with 70 lb dumbbells (140 lbs total), and did 7, 7, and 15. The Saturday after, I used 75 lb dumbbells and got 5, 5, and 15. Just today, with 85 lb dumbbells, I got 5, 5, and 10. I can't believe I've wasted so much time doing this exercise with weights that were far too small!

I'll pm you

I know that, I've been increasing the weight for the past 3 weeks only to find it was still too light every time. It took until just today to find an appropriate weight, and I still have to increase reps.

85 lbs for sit-ups is heavy as fuck

It's 170lbs in total. Even setting up can be a challenge. My abs also get a lot of indirect work from closed kinetic chain exercises and standing open kinetic chain exercises. Because JFL if you get punched in the stomach with weak abs.
