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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwX2KUW_k8c
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.”
Do 3 sets of 10 reps to failure. Avoid heavy weights to prevent injury.
I’m very busy. Cannot spend hours weekly in the gym. I’ve made good progress by doing one set of two drops with all sets to failure per exercise and two exercises per muscle group. I can effectively train three body parts in thirty minutes this way. For example: using 80% of my single rep max for db bench press take the first set of 10-12 to failure, drop off 25%, do 8-10 reps to failure, drop down to 50% of the first set and continue to failure. Terminate the exercise. On to Incline db press the same way and terminate the muscle group. On to shoulder presses….
As your muscle fibers get burned, your muscle/nervous system recruits more muscle fibers. In order to completely exercise a muscle, you need to burn them all. Completely.
This is why you can hold a squat or leg curl and you can see the muscle activate like waves though the muscle.
Obviously, all prior reps are important in order to get to complete muscle recruitment. 1/2 a work out is better than none. You get what you give.
Want to burn most? Do super slow reps. You’ll need less. This is healthier for your joints anyway.
You have to provide time for complete recovery. This is over training when they are still burned.
This is common sense if you think about it.
I think there is psychologival benefit to training failure. You end your workout knowing you gave everything had, as opposed to wondering if you really pushed yourself hard enough until the next time you are in the gym.
Do anybody know about Custokebon Secrets? Does it work? I hear lots of people burn their weight with this popular lose weight methods.
Training to failure absolutely works. Listening to some of these case studies for example doing 35 reps in the failure group is stupid. Up the weight and then train to failure.
Wait I can’t just do 1 rep of a bicep curl every 5 minutes throughout my day and get HUGE?! Well gosh darn my mind is blown
Teaching people poor form/posture while using momentum and non-target muscles to lift is the most amateur, and potentially dangerous, thing I’ve ever seen anyone try to teach over YouTube.
Who is here because their muscles went sore after exercising?
It makes sense that the last few reps would be more effective as thats when your triggering the deepest fibres of the muscle
Fuck I’m PhD and I feel this study is another one which proves what the authours premeditatedly wanted to prove, that is RI is superior to RM (muscle failure). They only measured the vastus lateralis and the subjects trained legs for 5 consecutive days/week. At some point in the study they mention that both groups performed sprint training in between the resistance training. And I don’t know for you, but for me it’s obvious that if you reach failure on some muscle you need to rest at least one day before training that muscle again, or you will pay it. Imagine reach muscle failure on the vastus lateralis today, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the next one, and the next, for two months and a half! That’s so stupid!!! Why just don’t compare two normal 8-12 reps RI vs. RM routines with REAL 1-2 training days/week PER MUSCLE with at least two days of rest between trainings for the same muscle? Ah I know, because there wouln’t be statitically significant results, or even RM would be better, and thus the bro science would be right again.
Actually we never though about the hard work you have to do for the videos, really appreciate it brother.
I would suggest that you include sample sizes when presenting research, because really the only one of these studies that is able to say much on its own is the study of the 89 women. Number of studies supporting or against something can be misleading because you could have 15 studies with a sample size of 3 and 2 studies with a sample size of 50, and the conclusions of the larger two studies would be far more significant despite the number of studies being outnumbered 15-2.
One big one thing that isn’t emphasized here fatigue.
You want to manage your fatigue in a way that will let you hit those “effective reps” as much as possible, so maybe reaching failure early on will damage your ability to reach more efficient reps at higher weights.
So like reaching to failure in your first bench when doing 12 reps at 85 will chase the rest of the sets to reach failure at 7-5 reps next time.
So I would argue that it will be better to leave a few reps at the tank so you could more effective reps in the upcoming sets, same goes for the rest of your workout.
Love your videos Jeff, actually adding more “science” than Jeff cavalier. Keep up the good work. I hope your channel explodes.
Even though im 5’7 i prefer higher weight and lower reps, because less time in gym.
Hey Mr. Science. You should worry more about telling your punk ass millennial generation to stop playing with their phones 85% of the workout��
So awesome. Thanks! Your videos have really helped my physical wellbeing!
I’ve just read “Huge in a Hurry” an the author says the closer you get to failure the less muscle fiber you use for your reps and thus these reps aren’t worth the effort… It’s the total opposite of what is said in this video
I do on everything except the major lifts because I don’t want to hurt myself
Its not necessary for growing muscle.
But it is necessary for growing a pair.
I cant believe this. I thought you have to go to failure on every single set. No wonder I absolutely hated working out
Doing training to failure allows for a very quick and yet highly effective muscle building workout. You wanna stimulate the greatest muscle stimulation possible in the shortest amount of time from ONE WORKOUT? Do 2 sets of as many reps as possible or in other words to failure, and you are done.
Just do 3 sets to failure with each exercise every other day, one exercise per body part, and you have the perfect combination of muscle stimulation and recovery time resulting in maximum muscle mass accumulation in a given mesocycle.
This is what prisoners do. They do failure training for 3 sets with one arm push up, pull ups and partner squats to get bigger and bigger day in day out.
And by failure I mean the inability to complete another rep in PERFECT FORM.
Honestly, from what I can tell as an average kickboxer and athletic type, here’s an idea: if you’re a beginner to exercise, find your max reps without failure, and subtract a quarter of them before making that amount of reps your routine, so your muscles can get used to exercising in general. After you reach your plateau, do your max. That way, you get used to it and can start reaching your full potential without as much of a risk for injury, or plateauing early.
If you want muscular shredded beef, muscular striation and ridges, seeing the muscular fibers through the skin on every muscle group in your body, muscular density, and muscular symmetry then you gotta take every rep of every set to failure and beyond and even beyond that period how bad do you fucken want it you get what you put the pain and the burn must not faze you or cause you to tap out or throw in the towel take the pain viciously like an angry enraged monster I used to get beat and physically abused by my own grandma ever since I was one year old until I was two and I got beat by foster family from four years old until I was 8 years old I had to adapt to the pain now I smash in the gym and take my anger and rage and hate out in the gym pain ain’t shit to me
Hey there… I love your videos.. you make them so interesting and easy to learn… U are such an inspiration… And inspired by I also tried to make study interesting by making videos on 3d digitals…. I am a surgeon and this way I can memorise things easier
Bruh I wish I could be half as big as this doctor, and while I’m asking I’d also like to be as smart and have a million dollars
Training to failure will quickly lead to overtraining, which will stunt your efforts to gain mass, and make you train even harder. Counterproductive is how I would describe training to failure.
Can you do a video on the different forms of whey, so normal, isolate and hydrolysate and see which one is best
the only thing is it makes you fatigue more, but there’s nothing wrong with it
I’ve been training till failure every time I work out and I’ve seen no negative effects
Great video. Thank you for sharing it. I would love to get in contact with you about sharing this video with our trainers.
Imagine training to failure on bench press and the barbell fell on your neck and the trainer is listening music in the next room.
Soon there will be video that only one push up is enough to build muscle
Remember to wake up at 3 in the morning and lick your window or you’ll only get 2% of your potential gains.
This was what Muhammad Ali used to talk about. He used to say that he didn’t start counting his reps until they started to hurt
Training to failure is the reason why you can’t hit the gym everyday.
I do not even need to watch this video…. pain and muscle failure is 110% needed…. to cross the line of buterflyman…to super iron man.
Training to failure is super easy when you can’t do 1 pull-up
this was actually really fuckin good. thought I’d skip it but glad it popped up in the playlist:) Layne always spits knowledge
Hypertrophy or strength? 2 totally different ways of training.
They completely left out of the study the idea of heavier weights with less reps versus more reps with lighter weight. This study really only looked at training to failure in a lighter weight volume based routine. So we’re missing part of the picture here. It’s also been said that “intensity” is far better with 5-8 reps of heavier weights than 8-12, or more, of lighter weight. Did they test for mass or for actual strength improvements, would be another question.
You dont even know the types of failure and where are the Physics theres just alot sience
Hi picture fit. Great videos as always. I have also looked upon on to other scientist’s research and all of them shows that training to failure doesn’t have a single benefit. It requires more recovery time, more damage to the muscle, potential risk, and a burden to nervous system. My question is, if training to failure is a bad thing to do, and only the volume matters, can I gain the same result if I stops at 80 percent rather than 90 percent, if the volume is the same? Thank you
People who don’t train to maximum failure are sissies and weak and don’t have what it takes to be a fucken monster savage beast ripping shit apart fucken breaking shit not giving a fuck enraged extreme violent vicious
Main point of all training is maintain good proper form. Start with basics and then get better and smarter. Good form helps to prevent or lessen injuries.
Yea right, Doing lots of easy sets is going to build muscle. How about quality over quanity, or less is more
quality over quanitity form over weight mind over muscle <3
If u don’t train to failure u won’t grow ur muscles. Simple as that.
There is not a single body builder that does not train till failure. They may not do a million reps but all do as much as they possibly can for the weight they use. Be it 5 reps or 30 reps. If you dont push ur body past ur limit, dont expect real growth.
Please choose 1…. light weight to failure or heavy weight only half way reps to failure
What is Custokebon Secrets? Does it work? I hear lots of people burn their fat with this popular fat burn secrets.
train your body everyday or train to break your body one day and rest for the whole week:)
I train to failure in all my accessory lifts after I do my main lifts like benchpress,squat,deads
Failure is good on last set of muscle group…..shock is good
Can we just agree that training Heavy and to Failure is better for growth then training for High Reps with Light weight?
You should include a component on the importance of increased neural activation and/or muscle fiber synchronization to increase strength. Research shows many people increase strength without adding new muscle mass, since this is more efficient for the body. Also, if you’re going to show protein, data that shows people, especially Americans need more protein to grow strength, especially at a recreational level (my guess is they don’t and many Americans waste a lot of money on protein supplements that they don’t need). Nice video overall.
My first sets go to near failure my last set goes to failure. But just as important is the ECCENTRIC Phase (the down stroke of a curl for example) must take about 3 second to complete! This breaks down some muscle micro fibers and this leads to muscle growth! Also for best form when lifting your lift should take about 3 seconds also ( Concentric movement / TIME UNDER LOAD). This will help build muscle too. You can do less reps to failure by the good form and adding time lift and lower movements.
how come in 3 months starting at 15 pounds dumbbell curls
i can curl
25s 18 reps
30s 11 reps
35s 8 reps
40s 3 reps
And I heard some dumbass on Instagram saying that training to failure doesn’t increase gains as oppose to not training to failure. ����
What I do is reps until I see I can maintain a good technique, that’s the only thing I focus about (30s max of rest per rep, blood still has to be flowing in my opinion), I’m not one who goes for mass if that’s what you’re going for, don’t do what I do
As suggested by the video TTF is a tool that can yield good results, but only if it’s used modestly. Personally I only perform a single TTF set for each exercise category. In my chest program, for example, I have one TTF set for bench-pressing exercises, and one TTF set for flies. It should always be performed as the last set in each category. That’s it. Also be aware that when you perform a TTF set there’s a good chance you will experience Central Nervous System Fatigue which basically means that you will force your body to start using resources that will result in a serious decline in performance in subsequent sets. If you’re able to perform 8 reps in a TTF set, you may only be able to perform 4 in the next one, for example.
I go up in weight by 5 lbs each time I go back to the gym. I do as many reps as I can, then step down by 5 rinse repeat. By the time I’m done I can barely lift 20 lbs. I get a lot of rest between workouts. I’ve been seeing very nice results.
I wonder, is there an age factor involved where if the subject is still in their late teens to early 20s and they practice form and lift to failure, say twice a week, then they may see drastic strength gain potential throughout their lifetime? That is, more strength gains than somebody who starts in their 30s or 40s and becomes a heavy lifter.
I only train to failure. Most people in my gym avoid failure and look horrible.
Joke comments aside, this is a extremely insightful and beneficial post that I would never have thought of.
This is very close to Economic Training. The goal is also the failure of muscle. The differents are the slow repetitions. You only have to train two times a week for 30 minutes. Greetings from Germany.
Training to failure is not definitively better for natural lifters, but for lifters on steroids and anabolics, it can give an edge, but the risk of injury might not be worth it, since longevity beats intensity.
I love doing until the failur because I think it develops mentally.
if you train triceps to failure with high frequency and high volume your biceps or shoulders might respond with growth to compensate for triceps being overworked so much. It works on some people and not on others. I think it all has to do with trial and error and what you think your body responds better to.
so it’s like having sex, very simple. try to replace the word failure with the word orgasms. the you get it.
You really don’t need to include failed sets!!! Measure those weights up and sets and progressively overload! Do power and heavy days and smash those fucking PR’s! So many different systems are based off finishing the sets!
What a stupid question. If you want “MUSKELN!” like Arnold Schwarzenegger you have to go through the pain barrier! That is what differs a loser from a champion
if a new lifter lifts till failure or not doesn’t matter because they’re gonna get a lot of beginner gains anyways.
My life seems to go to absolute failure. Can’t say I benefit much of this
So the Not to failure group never felt as exhausted as the train to failure group? Does this mean they could pump up 2-3 more reps, but stopped at 10 since it was 3 sets of 10 reps as shown in the example?
I love how he has two kinds of headphones on when demonstrating “pump” workouts ��
I do every last set to failure for over 10 years now. Works best for me or else I feel like I dint do my best.
PictureFit can you make a video about magnesium stearat its in alot of supplements, many people say that is harmfull and i’m worried about because on my zinc supplement says it contains magnesium stearat. And I’m concerned if i should continue to use it. Please make a video about it.
I generally always train to failure, except on Squat, Leg Press & Deadlift, as I don’t want to take any sort of risks on such big exercises.
Despite not training to failure, I have experienced good progress on Deadlifts nonetheless, and can currently lift 440lbs and am progressing at a slow and steady pace.
Guys. lost crazy amounts of weight doesn’t need to be hard (I used to think it did). I’ll give you some advice now. Get a popular lose weight diet plan called Custokebon Secrets (do a search on google). Thanks to it I’ve lost a ton of fat. I probably should not even be speaking about it cause I don’t really want a lot of other guys out there running exactly the same game but whatever. I’m just simply in a excellent mood right now so I will share the wealth lol.
I don’t train to failure, but I use failure as feedback on how much I should be lifting.
Salyt Antony, Great explanations.
So my question is about muscle momentary failure. When you say keep clean good form rep, is it mean that you still have strength to continue bad form rep, because you are fresh? Is this training is not so hard. I am confused in terms pushing hard and be fresh? The Second question, out of all BW athlethes I can say only gymnast have good hypertrophy. But they use statodynamic tension. What do you think about combining isometric and dynamic training as a way to increase time under tension to stimulate muscle hypertrophy?
Hey jeff, do you program yourself or do you have your own coach? Thank you.
My good sir. Please do a video about thalassemia ang bodybuilding. -your #1 fan
When training with your own body it’s imperative that you train to failure, meaning taking your sets to technical failure. If you do not do this in a set, then it’s not a work set it’s a warm up set.
What about training the six main muscle groups progressively just shy of failure 6 days a week?
Hi Anthony. Greece must feel warm after living in the Netherlands… I wanted to ask if your example opposes the reverse pyramid system for muscle gains.?
but what if im training to failure but in total ive done like 30 reps. will my muscle still grow?
I agree with you on not doing reps once the form starts to diminish, but I don’t see the point of holding back and waiting till the last set to go to failure, that’s like doing three warm-up sets. If your goal is to make your technique better or build up your rep range then I could see holding back and using the 80% rule. But if your goal is hypertrophy, you have to cause micro tears in the muscle and enough stress so the body rebuilds to be stronger, obviously with the right amount of rest in between workouts. Check Athlean-X’s video,” Should you train to Failure,” by Jeff Cavalier.
Great video Anthony. What about 1 set to failure 4-5 days in a row. To make exercise more of a habit than a workout? another reason is I do BJJ three times a week and sometimes a hard worker on top just kills. What’s your opinion? Cheers Dave
Failure is the minimum you need to go if you want to be a champion. The best bodybuilders didnt get there by leaving 3 reps in the tank. If it was that easy everyone would do it
Hi there, have you considered Custokebon Secrets yet? Simply do a google search. On there you will discover that a great tips about how you can lost crazy amounts of weight. Why don’t you give it a shot? maybe it will work for you too.
There’s a certain pleasure in training to failure in a good way, like when you push to give it one more rep, you feel good afterward, that’s the reward.
Hi Anthony,
I have bicipital tendonisis since 1 year. Despite 2 months of rest, elbows is always painful when nI do pull exercices and biceps exercises. My workout is yours (in your great ebook), the best workout. How can I follow your workout without using pull exercices? Have you an idea for an adaptated training?
It’s necessary if you want to be a champion, of you don’t do it then you can forget about becoming a champion, so say the legend Arnold Schwarzenegger
but what if im training to failure but in total ive done like 30 reps. will my muscle still grow?
Great video. Quick question. If you get say 10-10-7 reps on 3 sets of pull ups. Should you aim to add one more rep to the last set next time (10-10-8) or try and get the 10 on last set if you can?
100% right, I got my best results from training full body one exercise per body part to failure….. (the nautalis program )
Do you guys think this is an example of something the “bros” got right?? Also if you’re interested in more on this topic, take advantage of the MASS sale on research review subscriptions: http://bit.ly/jeffMASS
Can you make a video about doing one exercise every day for x amount of time. for example doing 100 push-ups every day for a month/2month. Would it bare any results. it’s really popular in Buzzfeed video’s
What do u think about for reps 1second up 3 second down or 1 up and 1down what’s your
I go to almost failure u need to be able to go to work and do your job and to respond to emergencies they can happen at any time
Hello Anthony. Thanks for your video. When reaching failure, does that make sense to wait 15 sec., and then to add other reps with the objective to end up the set? If yes, what are the benefits? Thanks in advance for your answer. Guillaume.
Antony, what is the best training split for beginners? Great video!
What video should i watch before this one, because i didn’t understand this?
Hey Anthony, thank your for your video, great advice, as always.How often during the week would you recommend training (to failure)? Thanks in advance, best regard from Germany, Rene
Hey guys! Love the videos, I was wondering if you were planning on a more advanced video about these things especially with muscles and bones just because this video was great for basics and I’d love to hear you guys explain the more advanced side of things. Keep it up:)
Has anyone used the Custokebon Secrets to lost a lot of fat? Just do a google search. On there you’ll discover a great tips about how exactly you can lost lots of weight. Why don’t you give it a shot? maybe it will work for you too.
Jeff, whether a not a rep is effective, or more appropriately, stimulating, ultimately boils down to the level of motor unit recruitment. Closeness to failure is only one factor when determining if a rep is stimulating. Indeed, as you essentially stated, the closer you get to failure, the more high threshold motor units (the ones responsible for growth) get recruited. However, high threshold motor unit recruitment is also proportional to load. The heavier the load, the more recruitment you get. Research suggests that at a load of at least 5RM, you will get near complete motor unit recruitment, from rep 1. Based off of this, the following rep scheme makes most. So rather than doing a set at a load that yields 10-12 reps, where the first 7-8 are nonstimulating, I think it makes sense to use use a 5RM load to near failure, and then rest/pause or drop set.

Does Custokebon Secrets really help to lost tons of fat? We’ve read many good things about this popular fat burn methods.
What is Custokebon Secrets and how does it work? I hear a lot of people burn their fat with this popular lose weight methods.

When it comes to eating healthy, you have to try not to fall victim to modern day fad diets. Extreme diets undoubtedly are a risk for your health, especially ones that seriously restrict your daily nutritionary intake. While they may generate rapid loss of weight, these kinds of diet plans will never be a long-term solution for your waistline. It is best to look up Custokebon Secrets on google search engine as it is not just another fad diet where you starve yourself.
My comment to this is; wouldnt it be fine that it takes 24 to 48 hrs to recover because I’m not gunna do the same muscle the very next day. The recovery time of the muscles allows me to train other muscle groups until the damaged muscles r repaired then I can work them again
Can you explain why you think 1 to 2 reps shy of failure is good for heavy work? What are you basing this on?
In my workout example i do chest on flat bench
1st i do 5-6 reps of 75 kg
Then 8-10 reps of 70 kg
Then 8-10 reps of 65 kg
Then 8-10 reps of 60 kg
Nd my weight in 64
Im studying to be certified personal trainer and this video helps understanding the muscle better!
Excuse me sir, I heard this from Muhammad Ali first!
“I don’t start counting until they hurt”
Good video. Would like to see how muscles react to injuries next.

I train until failure on every last set of every exercise and do a push/pull/legs split with 3-4 movements a session and every seventh day train abs calves and traps. I recover good even on a caloric deficit doing this. I think it all depends on the individual. Some people have better cns recovery than others
I’m confused. Should I train to failure on each set? Or the last set? Or can I do 10 reps per set till failure? Does it matter if I change the number of reps per set?
but what if im training to failure but in total ive done like 30 reps. will my muscle still grow?
Very informative video! Best part is, I love how you broke everything down in 3 minutes! Great job! Defiantly found this to be helpful!
I have no clue what I’m training for all I know is I love training?
Guess I’m screwed then!
My only question is how many sets is recommended when training like this? 3? 5?
i watching this video for my science subject thank you i love this video
Fun and informative video! Doesn’t talk down to audience; nicely done.
what about training sub maximal sets all week so I got to the gym do 12 pull ups with some difficulty Jeff does a set to 12 which is failure, the next day i can do another 12 pull ups but Jeff cant because hes beat up from going so hard before so he needs rest, through out the week i hit those 12 pull ups so Monday to Friday I have done 12 x 5 (60) pull ups Jeff has done pull ups 12 x 2(24) who would be better off?
Love your videos! I wish you’d continue uploading! What app do you use for creating animation? Love them!
Training to failure is simply a good way of traumatizing your muscles. You want to constantly force your body to adapt to the external forces it must handle. As far as your internal body is concerned, it is fighting for survival when a irregular force is introduced. That force being the very heavy weight/resistance.
And what if the non failure group, builded muscle because they always trained to failure until they made the research, so they changed the way they always trained causing more damage to muscle and more growth because of the new training schedule
Great video! It was very informative and helped me to understand what’s happening when we work out, thanks!
