Completing all sets in a weightlifting routine
I am 22 years old, and it has been 4 days since I started to train in a gym. My weight is 60-61 kg.
Currently, I am training on different gym equipment, but most important for me is weightlifting. When I workout, the sets typically have 8-8-8-7 repetitions.
My question is: does it matter if I can't do 8 repetitions in all four sets?
I am also working on pull-up, push-ups, legs exercises, biceps, and triceps.

The most important thing is progressive overload. So if for some reason you're doing the same weight that you did last time, and you're regressing in number of reps you can do in any of the sets, that's a bad thing (probably you're not taking enough time to rest, but also possibly that the load is actually too heavy for you). But on the other hand if you're increasing the weight gradually and one workout you do 8-8-8-4 and the next one you do 8-8-8-6 at the same weight, you're getting stronger and everything is fine.
