Muscle failure refers to lifting weights to the point where a muscle can no longer contract concentrically. That’s a fancy way of saying that the muscle is simply unable to perform another repetition. The way the body builds muscle is by lifting more weight than it can handle.
Muscular failure is the result of muscular fatigue. Think about the example above. As you are going through your bench press set, your muscles are fatiguing. With each individual repetition, fatigue accumulates.Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about muscles. Building them, tearing them, repairing them, eating them.
This is your complete guide to bodybuilding. From bulking up to cutting down, to workout plans and nutrition guides. Here’s everything you need to know.The closer the reps are to failure, the more they stimulate the need for adaptation (meaning muscle & strength growth).
The last few reps of the 6RM set were the most effective. Training to failure is beneficial in this circumstance. Another instance you may want to consider training to failure is during the last set of a particular exercise.
You really don’t need to worry about much as long as the basics are in place. With that said, here are some things to consider as you explore Muscle & Strength. Remember that these rules and tips are aimed at beginning to intermediate lifters and are not meant to tell advanced bodybuilders and powerlifters how to train.
You Need To Kno.Everything You Need To Know About Muscle Building. A healthy lifestyle is a conscious choice that one makes and strengthening your muscles is just one aspect of healthy living.
You may not be sure how to get started, though. Here are some great tips in muscle building that could improve your life.And your muscles are made up of countless cells known as muscle fibers.
These hard-working muscle fibers are split into different types, which offer unique benefits and ultimately influence how your body responds to training. Here, we review everything you need to know about the fibers that make up your many muscles.The patient will urgently need oxygen therapy and anti-clotting medication.
Severe kidney failure (acute renal failure): Severe muscle spasms can result in.Heart failure can affect the left ventricle, right ventricle, or both. Themost common form is systolic heart failure, when the heart muscle’s function is diminished and, as a result, blood doesn’t.When that strain exceeds what you can handle, your muscle fibers may tear open, spilling a protein called myoglobin that would normally transport oxygen to your muscle cells into the bloodstream.
As a result of this spillage, the torn muscle can rapidly deteriorate, while the kidneys can become overwhelmed by rising myoglobin in the blood.Early symptoms. Early symptoms of Lyme disease, which develop between three and 30 days after becoming infected, mirror the early flu-like symptoms of other illnesses, including COVID-19.Muscle cramps are common and often occur when a muscle is overused or injured.
Working out when you have not had enough fluids (dehydration) or when you have low levels of minerals such as potassium or calcium can also make you more likely to have a muscle spasm.Smooth and coordinated muscle movements of the body are made possible by a substance in the brain called dopamine. Dopamine is produced in a part of the brain called the “substantia nigra.” In.
The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with nutrients and oxygen by circulating blood. Coronary arteries can become diseased or damaged, usually because of plaque deposits that contain.

Me: Does it depend?
picturefit: It depends on what it depends on
(Edit: I disagree. Needs an update I reckon).
So he advocates going as far as you possibly can.
I don’t know which is better. Seems going to mega-failure can trash the muscle beyond what is necessary. So stopping a rep or 2 shy, gets the same benefits, without unnecessary damage.
I think there were some papers on this. Would be cool to see an updated video on this from Jeff.
Edit: Yea check out Jeff Nippard’s video titled:
Effective Reps: Does Training To Failure Matter For Muscle Growth? | Science Explained
From the papers we have so far, it seems to either make no difference, OR, stopping just shy might give you more muscle growth. So this video doesn’t seem to be going with the current scientific consensus.
Something to remember is that you still need to sometimes calibrate just what your real max is. Sometimes you can surprise yourself with how many more you can pump out. Definitely don’t wanna unintentionally slack off.
As far as high reps… yea go to failure. That’s just a different type of failure. The burn.
So I am training to failure at 10-12 reps. I then perform 3 other exercises at the same failure rep and repeat the round two more times. In total, I do an exercise between 30-40 times per workout and I do this all the time I workout by default. Am I over stressing and overtraining my body?
So 6 weeks to failure, 2 weeks not to failure, and so on. 6 weeks on (to failure), 2 weeks off (not to failure), then back to 6 weeks to failure, etc?
But what about going to failure when doing something like a biscep curl. Going to failure on my left arm is way sooner than my right. What do I do?
This video just confuse the f*** out of me just use simple words and make your point
One set training is the only plan that gave me more gains. So training to failure for me is gospel.
In my opinion scientists forget as always about longer recovery time and eating in their experiments. Because from this what i remember more you destroy your muscle fibers, bigger they grow ( give them after time to recovery and enough food to build). I prefer to belive ppls who achive perfect body with failure system than a group of scientists what did not have any idea how to workout in practice.
I almost-always train to failure and I am part of the people that trains to reach that point. But I admit, I did notice some sudden fatigue for some entire week or so, some 2 or 3 weeks ago. My bf told me “just take it easy…” I did, and now I am back on track.
A week ago I was really sore for 4 days! But turns out next time I went for Leg Extension I easily had +14 kgs on it <3
Follow Arnie´s advice, do train to failure!
As an ectomorph, i noticed that VERY BEST way for me to make gains was through forced reps. If i did it over a month, i would plateau.
Glad ive come across this channel! Thanks for the great informative video!
I have never seen such an analysis like this before, I love how much exercise is science base and you promote all this to make your exercise as effective as possible, congratulations on your work, research and guidance, cheers
Fucking retards… This is Performance failure, not failure.
your’e wrong about going to failure being dangerous.
on the contrary it’s safer provided good form is kept.
Thanks for the great content! Could you please maybe do a video on egg whites consumption and the possibility of biotin deficiency?
Most people who don’t make gains training to failure (and in general) are not resting enough between sessions.
I cover both bases. I start out with getting lots of volume, And then my last 3 sets I take to failure. If you go to failure first it will be hard to get enough volume due to fatigued muscles.
For muscle growth, yes. For strength, nah not really. That’s the way farmers strength works
You can do all the volume you want, but if you’re not hitting failure, what good is it. Dorian yates and many others only did 1 working set per exercise, and he got pretty dam big. I just don’t think doing set after set after set is going to make you grow faster than take a few hard sets to failure…just been my experience… If you’re just doing what your body can normally handle, what reason does it have to grow? If you’re not pushing it. I agree, going to failure can drain you. The simple solution is to limit the amount of sets you do…
So true, I trained to failure ALL the time. I was tired all the time, over trained, didn’t see any results. Than, once I stopped training to failure all the time and did it like once or twice a week, the gains started to come.
Training to failure seems to get recovered differently per muscle. Biceps tend to suffer from extreme training. On the other hand, some muscles are used also as helping muscles in other moves. So failure plus helping for other moves, is even more training.
Or maybe it gets problematic to train beyond failure. I mean, if you cannot do one more, but still do couple by increasing the effort, it gets too intense.
This series is spectacular and we are proud to partner on these. Great stuff!
I can train to failure but if I do on my first workout I can not finish the rest of my workouts
i do failure now instead of sets and reps but i increased the weight, i’ve been lifting for about 6-7 months is this bad?
The best system I ever tried is going to within a couple reps of failure for a single set of approx 20 reps. Keep work-outs short. Pick 5 exercises 1 set each…total work-out time 5-7 mins. Twice/wk. That is absolute fastest way to size gains. Never feel burned out. Don’t strain and you’ll always feel fresh and charged up.
Do you need to breathe to stay alive?
PictureFit: It depends
Training until failure works best with lighter weight. Heavy enough to get 15 or better reps. U don’t do it until failure with weight that’s going to crush your head obviously.
Very good info, gotta show this to my dad who is a failure addict
You should say sorry about the shit you’ve been talking about mr Yates few years ago. Yates said this, what you are saying now, 20 years ago.
Failure when there’s no more free gift(shirt) with $75 order ��
I had chicken legs, started doing squats and calf raises till failure with almost my max three months in, my legs and quads are delicious too look at.
Hey Bodyweight Muscle fans,, how’s it hanging?! Let me know what do you think about today’s video and if there are stuff you didn’t get
Aim to fail or I’ll never succeed? Okay. Cool. Giving it everything next workout now
Like maxing, failure is a way to tax the CNS. Like maxing, failure done too often and your CNS actually weakens.
A workout plan should have just the right amount of CNS strain to improve strength, supplemented with filler sets for added hypertrophy, if needed. Filler sets are never super heavy and never reach failure.
It is very hard to overtrain hypertrophy. It is very easy to overtrain the CNS. Learn the difference and you will understand GAINS.
Came here after watching Picture Fits sec video on “training to failure”. Idk who to trust, Jeff Cavaliere or the Triangle Guy.
Social media jerkoffs: gIvE mE a 100$ aNd I’lL tElL yOu A sEcRet…
Jeff: *tells all the secrets during an event for free
I report jeffs videos for clickbait. The thumbnail shows brawn, but the content shows brains
4 years ago Jeff: Train till failure
Current Jeff: Don’t train to failure
Me: ��
If you train until failure every set, there’s going to be a serious absence in your volume that day, and good luck coming back to your workout in the “magic 48 hours” from your workout. You will be way too sore. Made that mistake for a long time.
i used to do the heavy duty leg training by mike mentzer. leg extension superseted with leg press once a week, I got stronger my reps and weight where going up each week but after a month and a half i stayed ate 150 in the leg extension, I added and extra week off but nothing happen until I getting busy with college and forgot about training for a month when I came back i was surprised I did 170 on the leg extension for a solid 11 reps no bullshit.
if u dont train to failure you can stay at gym all day haha sounds so lame
As a 25yr FORMER hit’er I can tell you with out reservation training to failure is about as wrong and counterproductive as you can get.
Thank you for actually caring about others and teaching real truth and the right way to train. Very inspiring!!
This got me interested in going to the gym again.
I always wanted to train to failure to bring that challenge and mental toughness to my workout, but either people would say no with weak, unsatisfying arguments ( to let themselves off the hook most likely) or I would injure myself because I only trained till failure of tolerance ( not knowing any other types of failure at the time) because I was well past failure to maintain form, so injuries occur because of bad form. Same with explosive excercises, I didnt get the results I wanted because I trained till failure of tolerance while getting slower and less explosive instead of training for failure of tempo while keeping it quick and explosive.
Thanks Athlean!
Really great info on the three types of failure of tempo, tolerance, or technique. Wouldn’t failure of technique be the first failure?
Does training to failure matter?
Jeff Nippard: Yes but actually no
Why not do Multiple Sets? Why not just 1 set to failure? After you reach momentary muscle failure any additional sets make little difference on hypertrophy.
Nonsense. Training is always balancing with switching protein synthesys and vascular effect of training. If we train to failure or even close to it, you just do little more synthesys but big stress on vascular system, wich going to do idea of training useless. If you wanna more protein synthesys we already have static and slow speed training. But stress on the heart do this training useless.
I basically go to failure on every set, not a good idea then? I never feel like I’m not rested enough when it comes to doing the same muscle group next week though.
Imagine if someone came up to Jeff and said was wasn’t doing an exercise properly ��
I go to failure on my last set. And if I can do more than 6 reps (or 10, whichever rep range you’re working in) I increase the load so that in the next workout I fail at 6 reps or under on my last set. So I get the benefit of knowing when to increase the load, and am able to increase the load over time, and get multiple sets in my workout without feeling exhausted a quarter of the way into the workout.
The bodybuilding community is overwhelmed with a Very high volume of contradictory information. This makes listening to y’all useless at most and confusing at minimum.
Thank you for this helpful video. I was watching alot of influencers who talk about lifting super heavy and training to failure, but describe training to failure as super intense, really painful, screaming insideThis is how I seriously injured myself this year. Do you have any recommendations for someone I could talk to or work with? I need to continue training but have limitations that are possibly permanent. I dont want to hire just any coach or personal trainer, that is part of how I became injured in the first place, trying to follow (probably incorrectly) what they taught me. Thanks!
I don’t understand how people can dislike when he is trying to improve us
Once I started going one or two reps shy of failure, I started to gain weight. I recommend it. Obviously recovery and nutrition in combination is necessary as well. This trio is where I noticed the weight going up.
2:58 (meat) protein is bull shit! I’m
On a 100% whole plant based diet. And I’m 5’10, 185lbs!! I’m ripped! And I get results clearly from working out. Humans don’t need meat or dairy simple as that.
One day training to failure, the next day rest, then the following day normal training, then the next day rest again. I’m not an expert, this is just a way I see it.
This is so helpful. Iv always been doing dropsets till failure
I dont get it. Should we go to failure every set or just the last?
1. Always keep proper form and stop when you can’t maintain form
2. If form and tempo is good train till that burn is too much
3. Train till you feel your gonna die
last week i trained so hard until i shit my pants, is that considered a failure?
I don’t think it is always necessary, but that’s from seeing a lot of my friends with joint problems from the military. The army is real big on training to failure and it will tear your joints apart.
What’s your opinion on finishing the last set by going to failure and then keep hanging for a looong negative rep?
Its been really trendy lately on youtube fitness channels to not train to failure but I’ve always loved it. Intensity over volume training has always provided the best results for me as long as progressive overload is a factor
Brilliant. Just started a new bulking routine, feeling tired. This is exactly what I needed to hear!
Who works out til failure? I like to do 1 rep per minute so I can do 60 rep sets with my 80%/max. It’s all about the volume. Plus I get to hang out out the gym 8 hours a day
Sometimes I train to failure and sometimes I do more volume. Some weeks I do all bodyweight stuff, some weeks I do heavy lifting, some weeks I do moderate lifting. I also do posture exercises, yoga, and other things like cold water immersion, deep tissue work, cryo and sauna therapy. I DO EVERYTHING.
Hi Jeff, a few thoughts on this.
If I try doing an exercise until absolute failure, the first thing that should give in would be the tempo, followed by tolerance followed by technique. Is this correct?
Secondly, I usually try the exercise until tolerance failure > take a couple of deep breaths while holding the weights in the rest position > do another couple of reps until tolerance failure.
Now my goal is to reduce my body fat%. Which tolerance method should I follow to enhance the effect of fat burn?
I’m slowly getting into fitness and Jeff seems to have a video about every question I’ve come up with������������ thanks for quality content!
What i’d like to know is if in that study of failure vs submaximal they told the submaximal group to lift every Rep as explosive as they can o just told them to lift it. That’s because submaximal intensity done at maximal effort is almost the same as a set to failure, you recruit the same muscle fibers and SNC effort is the same
3:49 I JUST recently, after watching some of SuperTraining videos with Stan Efferding, started taking my 3-6 rep max on any given exercise to failure, dropping the weight (Drop set) down and finishing out to 20 reps from where I left off from failure. Feels like it seems to be working well for the hypertrophy. I’ll most likely do a two-four week cycle of the failure sets as to get full recovery
It would be a waste for you not to get rid of fat while other typical people are able to shed pounds quickly by using Custokebon Secrets (search on google).
15 subjects split into 2 is an exploratory study at best and not statistically relevant at all.
Major question: does training to failure make it only one set? Or do you still do multiple sets to failure? Always been confused on how this works
If you think you reached failure, you haven’t recruited your inner slow-twitch Saiyan.
Hey Jeff, just a quick question, how do you know what type of failure you should be training for? Is it based on the specific nature of the exercise or is it for the type of training for instance, strength, endurance, size? Or it it a mix of both? I know it’s a old video but I would appreciate your opinion
Experimenting with failure. Today, I tried this for upper chest: incline dumbbells (volume) to failure, then light weight eccentric to failure (3 sets of 8 second movements) to failure, then went to a machine incline and held it, contracted for 3 sets to failure. Holding it had the greatest effect on me, or aleast what I could feel. I’ll let you know how I feel tomorrow.

So many times I here people now saying don’t train to failure and give science as to how it works. It f…ks me off. Common sense dictates training to failure will give you better results. Training as hard as you can always has. I’m ex military, 48 and train harder than any 20 year old in my gym. Even the ones that rely on gear
It’s not neccessary but you can potentially grow quicker. I train to reach failure each set. Works for me.
The argument in this video does not conclude anything regarding which one is better. Primarily because it doesn’t explore what happens when recovery IS allowed after training to failure. I personally stimulate a particular muscle group at least after 30 hrs (Alternate days).
Everything I’ve ever done, ends in fuckin failer.��������������
So training to failure and taking longer breaks means reasonable muscle growth
I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger did this and look at him back then
I have a question about DOMS. As a newbie lifter, the muscle soreness I experience the day after a workout can be excruciating. I imagine this is often what deters people from achieving their fitness goals, but I don’t plan on quitting. I know that the effects of DOMS subside naturally and after a few days your muscles return to full functionality and you’re able to hit the gym again but in the long term, do the effects of DOMS become less intense and easier to handle as you become stronger? Or do bodybuilders always experience the same degree of pain after a session and just learn to live with it?
Personally, when I don’t train to failure. I don’t see results. Maybe that’s because I train technical failure, where I do reps until my technique breaks down and is bad, but I think people think failure as in not being able to perform a rep anymore no matter the form, which is dangerous and an easy way to get injured.
This explains why I got so much bigger with calisthenics, damn
There ain’t no such thing as overtraining period I push that shit to the fucken max of the fucken max with anger and rage and hatred beyond failure, drop-sets, up-sets, rest-pause-sets, forced-sets, forced-reps, concentric, eccentric and, static muscular failure, super-sets, giant-sets mega-sets and what ever the fuck else shit in my book there ain’t no limits and people wonder why they look the way they do shot out shit because they work out like sissies without no drive and ambition and extremism shit you get what you put
Jeff the kind of guy to photoshop OUT his muscles on a thumbnail, not in.
Injury prone exercises in which the form goes away in the last must not be trained to failure.
This is a total game changer for me! Thank you so much for your work PictureFit!
Q&A QUESTIONS: I’ll be doing a Q&A in two days so leave me your questions in response to this comment!
I always train to failure, but I’ve often heard you should train so you got a few reps left in you when you’re done. I knew that was bullshit. I just saw a video of Joe Rogan saying if you’re able to do 10 reps, do 5 and wait 10 min before the next set.. What? You would think Joe Rogan knew better.
I always try to do a planned workout like let’s say 4×8. Even if I can do more, I don’t. My last set of an exercise is usually a dropset or two. This usually kills the specific muscle then I rest for about 3-4 mins then head into the next exercise. I try to do 3-5 exercises per muscle group.
Failure training IS NOT needed at all. You can do more “damage” to a muscle by repetitive sets NOT done to failure than with 1 set done to failure. Failure also dumps stress hormones (adrenaline, cortisol) into the system. These hormones are HIGHLY catabolic (tissue consuming) which is obviously bad if training drug free.
I have and will always believe in training to Failure..because if you dont train to failure then you are wasting your time at the gym. But in what sense? Failure of FORM..Thats I believe in. What use is doing an exercise if you have to use every muscle in the body to get the weight up eh?
the only non faillure i do is squats cuz that dangerous. the rest prety much it
I go till failure, if I can’t lift it anymore, it means I’m done…wait 3 minutes, do it again, hope it gets to that point again and do it again, move to the next exercise, do the same
3 months and insane gains, not even a beginner, just beginning after a while, if you’ve killed yourself and still feel good after the workout, I feel it’s a perfect workout, because I get the best food and sleep after that, most satisfying thing, helps everything, helps energy too in the next day
Man I hate that training to failure is not the most effective way, it’s the only way I like to train.
I appreciate the fact that you are examining the studies nothing wrong with looking for the best way to get dem gains
Failure training is an essential tool for bodyweight type of training.Muscular failure will burn your best fibers and hence build better next time(rep range doesnt matter).Although its heavy on the body better be careful and cycle it.Great Video!
Do you have a link to this study it appears there are some possible statistical flaws in the research?
It’s time to go get your revenge

I almost don’t believe it.. wouldn’t recovery have more to do with the amount of sleep you get and the nutrients you put into your diet as opposed to your reps and sets?
I LOVE how this channel goes straight to the point and doesn’t milk, stretch and recycle the same info to get that 10+ minute point and waste our time. Bravo ��
But my doctor say the otherway around and hes also a youtuber
Muscle damage is recently shown to NOT be the key driver for hypertrophy.. You should do an update, man.
Strength coaches know not to go to failure. And old school Russian power lifters know this too. But if you are going for hypertrophy and looks, that is different.
so, choosing heavier weight, and “momentum-cheating” the last reps should give you more effective reps
Same, failure training will maximize your gains way way way Way better than if you were not going to failure, that is where you start to see drastic changes in your body, but yeah use it once a week or so, moderately otherwise you will just keep depleting yourself without being able to recover, hence you wont see growth, unless you rest for a long long period of time. It is all commensurate to rest and food in the end. The greater the workout the greater the rest needed. From a muscled guy
do you any type of training programs or body splits for bodyweight training?
please stop doing scientific studies about bodybuilding.. you fucked up
Hey picture fit, I do love your videos! Lot of trustworthy sources, I learn so much with them. Can I suggest you to talk about the vitamin b12 supplement for other video? Thank you so much for your work and best regards.
In my opinion after a workout you should still be able to defend yourself. Shits crazy out there sometimes
@picturefit Please����, I want to ask you about the program you use to make your videos(this animation)!!!??
Failure Training has definite advantages if you’re looking to be injured.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not, I think the reason so many people believe it is because it feels like a good metaphor for overcoming adversity in general.
I will never remove failure from my workouts. I guess it’s optimal to keep it for the last set at least, but I can’t resist and do it for 2-3 sets…
Great videos and great advice but I can’t help wondering what this dudes physique looks like. Am I the only one?
Hi Anthony can you please tell me how much sets and repetitions should i do for a week if i am doing pull ups, chin ups, weighted lunges, dips, push ups, handstand push ups and inverted rows?
Can somone give me example of how many sets and reps should I do for non failure training?
Did not know this…they don’t teach this in the NASM CPT test. Your knowledge is sooo next level. Thank you!
How does this account for the fact that different rep ranges produce different training adaptations? In particular, I’m referring to the graph at 2:55. If only the last 5 reps are effective then we should see the highest level of hypertrophy when working in the 5RM range (Since this would allow for the heaviest amount of weight for those 5 effective reps). However, research points to a slightly higher rep range of around 8-12 reps to maximize hypertrophy.
I dunno Layne, Jason Blaha doesn’t train to failure and he looks incredible
Great insight into training-to-failure training… Great, informative video as always!
Is training to failure necessary if I just want general health? I can workout more consistently without too much grinding. Is consistence more important?
Big news… I realized this about 15 years ago.:D Back then when the bro-science dominated the scene (which suggested going to failure all the time) I never went to failure on my leg exercises, especially on squats because I didn’t use safety bars, didn’t wanna die under the weight:D. I always left 1-2 reps in the tank yet my legs grew much faster than any other upper body muscles even tho I went to failure on those (RPE 9.5-10). Still to this day it’s pretty hard not to go to failure in upper body exercises because that mentality engrained in me and it feels weird to stop before I fail.
I dont care about the results ive been training to failure for the past few months ive started working out and its worked so im still doing it
For Some reason I can’t workout I just don’t feel like I’m tearing in dem muscles anyone got any tips?
Why only 15? You can barely conclude anything from only 15 people….
Training to failure on squats and deadlifts seems like a really bad idea. Same goes for bench press unless you have a good spotter. Personally, I often train to just before failure. I do the last complete rep that I know that I can do, then stop and move on to the next exercise. I do go for higher volume, as I typically do four sets of each exercise.
I love the video I have one question how can I improve my pull up reps thank you so much for your Time Anthony.
My question is, should I train to failure each set, or only the last set I planned (for example the last set of the ussual 3 sets 12 reps)
All going to or near failure did for me is cause injury over and over again. Tendonitis can take you out for several months. I don’t know who these people are that are able to do this but I sure am not one of them.
I like to train to failure, but not for every set. Does he mean every set?
Hi Antony, great vid and good advice. Keep up your good work.
Seee this is what wee need the sience behind the body you got my respect man ����
What do you thing about this: Every single exercise you do do it to the failiure soo your daily exercise lasts like 10mins It seams good to me
Not from arnold but from mohammad ali when he says he counts his pushups only whrn it starts to hurt
I always go to failure on the last set, and if I can exceed 6 reps on the last set, I increase the load.
Just pick an exercise and do the reps for it. Not that hard.
So total volume would be more important than training to failure?
Am I the only one who feels that the thumbnail is overly photoshopped?? �� ��
How many times a week is recommended to train a muscle to failure (of the three types)? Is it age/experience dependent?
2:33 “with matched intensity and volume…”
-How do you have “matched” intensity, when NOT going to failure clearly hasn’t the intensity of going to failure.
Thanks for this very informative video,I never really understood the concept of training to failure. I actually thought it was going hard each set,it’s more than that I see now. Rep range is important
An athlete training for 10 weeks short of failure could lead to peaking and better recovery in the ten week period, resulting in a chance for better muscle growth. The group train to failure may have Ben over trained or have not adapted properly hence showing a poorer muscle growth….just a thought
T.T.F. is a useful cyclical protocol… For those who are definitely not training on the natch.
Why are these studies designed with such ridiculously low numbers of participants? At n=15 you could probably find pretty much any result. (Though I’m not arguing whether these findings hold true.)
So here I am, stuck at home with no training equipment doing sets of 30+ reps to get to failure. You gotta work with what you are given haha
So from that study it appears that the longer you’ve been lifting the more your body is adapted to training muscle and therefore the less you have to do to maintain it?
Imagine being in the same hotel gym as Jeff while he is training. This incredibly buff, athletic guy just walks in
The only way I noticed growth, was working out to failure. I don’t take no supplements at all. When I did reps and sets I felt tired and never noticed any growth, but a bit of strength, now I work till I can’t no more and noticed a big difference in growth.
the point is do waht feels right and what makes you see results
Athlean X Jeff says you should always go to failure, either in form, tolerance or speed. Now I don’t know what to believe.
Yes, thanks for anther awesome video! I have a question… so I understand that BCAAs are basically useless in the absence of other aminos HOWEVER would you reccomend EAAs to prevent muscle breakdown while training during fasted periods?
I bet my mama he said
it depends
edit: i guess i’m on the wrong channel
It’s weird taking Strength Training advice from a person that sound like they weigh 125 lbs and suffer from low testosterone…..
whenever I train to failure it would always be by technique/form as soon as my form starts breaking apart or I cant make through full range of motion but for single joint where form is easier like bicep curls I’d do tolerance failure there are barely many exercise where I’ll go for this type and then in my conditioning training like sprinting cardio or my power (speed) athletic lifts, failure would be when I cant maintain my max speed.
The last two or three reps to failure add up over time though. By taking every set to failure, you’ll finish sooner, therefore, avoiding overtraining, which happens with too much volume and not enough recovery. Train harder!
Training to failure just like doing drop sets is totally effective, BUT NOT every day or every set, you’ll just end up exhausting yourself.
I feel like this is inconclusice because the sample size is small and that wasn’t adequate rest for the failure group
Is it just me or it’s much harder to fail for the leg muscles. Like, I never managed until failure on some of the exercises using machines. Only while doing squats.
Wow, terrible talk. If he could only get through one video without cussing. Filthy mouths show filthy minds. This heart patient needs a heart transplant. Drink some toilet water and hydrate.
Awesome video. Jeff from Athlean-X just recommends absolute failure (of at least one way to reach failure). According to the current seemingly scientific consensus, I think an updated video would be good. Or at least his thoughts on it.
This makes so much sense I can really apply it now changes a lot
what i like about this guy, is his calm focus, his scientific mind, and no nonsense approach. that and how he’s off the charts mental obsessed muscle dysmorphic.
If your goal is to build lean muscle, not bulk up, does that determine the type of failure you would aim for? (He mentions tempo failure is for power training) Or is the type of failure more specific to the type of exercise your doing (and you would ideally experience all 3 types in various exercises during the same work out?)
did Dr. Mike Israetel consider that maybe he should put a shirt on before the interview or…
Y didn’t I watch this vid be4, basically crippling myself lol
How fuckin complicated, how is someone ever supposed to get into shape with all this shit every time they are working out hard they find out that shit isn’t even doing anything,, it’s crazy that my body would be on fire in pain from working out hard but it’s not even working.. blows my mind
Imagine a book called ‘The Two Jeffs Technique’…that’s something I’d read!
Basically the first study is benefit of failure because it increases strength on the other hand the second study shows that reps over weight creates thickness
training to failure is the best option to make yourself strong faster

you could have just said “just do enough sets that your arms are sore, but not so sore that you’ll worry about dropping a dumbbell in your head.”
