Leaving reps in the tank should almost always be done. Only someone with excellent recovery genetics can be using 100% effort with the right about of volume and intensity. Notice I said the right about of volume and intensity. Doing 3x10 when you’ve been lifting for 5 years already isn’t gonna cut it. You should be doing 3x3 and maxing out in addition to high volume sets to make optimal gains as an advanced lifter. You aren’t gonna be able to go all out when training like that. You could and should go all out if you insist on sticking with the less optimal 3x10 route similar to how you wouldn’t tell someone can do 100 push ups to stop at 80 reps

Best thing to do is to just train often. I used to lift just for fun. I hit a 500lb deadlift after 3 years. Didn't follow a program, didn't follow any diet and maybe got about 60-80g of protein a day. Relatively trash genetics. All I did was go to the gym everyday, squat or deadlift, bench when i felt too sore to do anything with my lower body. I'd usually stay in the 3-8 rep range and just do 3-5 sets depends on the amount of reps. I think the reason nobody can agree the best way to train is because anything works. Your body will always adapt to your training.

I have noticed that sometimes I go into my workouts with a toxic mindset, or i have personal issues that happen to come up during the workout and even though I have enough energy to do more reps, my mind will create a failure point much sooner than my actual physical failure point.

I’ve always mixed failure with non failure training per workout days. The majority of my isolation movements I’m hitting failure and sometimes beyond , while most compound movements I’m stopping 1-3 reps shy of failure . I’ve found this to be the sweet spot between intensity and fatigue management .

I didn't have much time to apply these methods due to mandatory military service back then but for 2 months I've seen significant results strength wise. I am 178 cm height, 92 kg male. FYI, I wasn't using any supplements like whey protein etc. only good diet and I mostly do this sport for fun that's why I didn't get into much of these stuff. At the end of applying these methods I was able to do 20 straight pull-ups (like in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3jSZXyPocd4a8k), max 60-70 push-ups (depends on how rested I am), during arm workout I was able to do 40 kg barbell curl which was 30 kg before, tried 1 rpm when full rested and before workout it was 60-65 kg. During my military service I was still able to do 20 pull-ups but it dropped to 15-17 because you don't get to choose what to eat and what to do in military moslty and I hurt my left elbow there I'm not able to do anything related to body building or fitness until it heals. So that's all information I can give you I hope you guys try what Jeff said in this video and see significant results for yourselves.

This training til failure method WORKS. When i was a kid 15-16 I never trained til failure til i was about 18-19. when i started lifting at 15-16 i would only train with a 4-5 rpe on everything EXCEPT dips, deadlifts and squats, because i was exceptionally good at dips and i loved doing them over other forms of exercise like pull ups/chin ups bench ect, i was also naturally gifted with squats and deadlifts so i trained harder with those my sqaut was over 300 at 155 pounds and my deadlift 225. l i built AMAZING triceps and legs and couldn’t get the other parts of my body to grow until i was 18-19 and i was more experienced and comfortable exerting myself on other lifts, i hurt my Rotator cuffs doing bench with bad form whilst performing an rpe of 8-9 and I couldn’t even do push ups the same for a while so my chest lagged and i was scared to push for a while, once i started pushing i was gaining FAST. In hs when i started lifting i was about 5-8 i grew to 5-10 at 18-19, when i was 15-16 i was STUCK at 155 pounds. When i hit 18-19 i began gaining muscle FAST, hit 175-180 EASILY still had abs felt great. Til recently I didn’t feel as though it was my exertion level in the workouts , i always attested it to my eating as well as training frequency and variations . Since i stuck to squats deadlifts and dips mostly in my youth and didn’t do much of anything else, once i started training hard on other lifts gains went crazy. As well as variating my dip form from completely vertical to a slight angle to hit more of my chest. As well as form changes to my bench to activate more chest and contract my Back for stabilization. Form and rpe of 8-9 are OPTIMAL the best way to train. My other mistake was also over training , too many reps and not enough rest. My football coach not only gave me bad form advice for bench but also made us train WAY too much as youth💀. He meant well, my body ALWAYS ached, my upper body that it. Not my legs, my legs were RARELY sore😂

If you train with an rpe of 8-9 get adequate rest and target all Muscle groups, you can get away with 2 training sessions a week every now and then to optimize recovery, 3 days a week isn’t necessary if you know how to program and can workout for an hour, there were weeks i hit upper body lower body in one workout 2 times a week. And i was able to get cardio in as playing basketball or another sport to make it fun, i felt great, the third day of training was playing the sport

Like a lot of guys, I came up in the gym thinking that it wasn’t a real set set unless you went to failure, but now I think the potential gains doesn’t outweigh the potential for injury and longer recovery time. I think leaving a few in the tank and focusing on diet and progressive overload is much more effective.

About Jay, I've followed his journey for many years as a fan and I know he trained mostly based on how he felt that day. He knows his body and his limits in and out. He was so consistent with his sleep, recovery, eating that he rarely had an "off day". This type of consistency and regularity is proof that you are how you live. You can see this in his training, you would never think that he ever trained hard enough but Jay knew that the next rep would not be form perfect and he would need to break his form to much to get another rep in. He didn't value this as important enough to risk the injuries. You can look at Ronnie now and Jay now and you can see who did it the right way.

It's fascinating that humans have been instinctively teaching themselves all this stuff through experience for millenia. Some ancient greek probably taught his gymbros all this stuff and ate a diet strikingly similar to the modern recommendations for optimal lean muscle growth without any of the science.

I’ve trained for a long time with a friend, we have opposing body types, I am 6 foot and stocky and he was 6’5 and slim. During our lifts I was always amazed at how he could grind out lifts during the last few reps of a set when he was pushing to his absolute max, it’s like he always had a bit more to slowly grind it up. For my sets, as soon as I’m close to failure, once I hit the wall I really hit the wall, it was quite amazing. Could go solidly until that last rep then it just wouldn’t move no matter what. For that reason, looking at Jays facial expressions I think it was RPE 8.8, so basically a 9. Obviously this is anecdotal but I really do believe in there being key differences in the way our muscles work in those last few sets approaching failure. Great video as always!

I'm glad I kept watching past the first 3 minutes or so because I was gonna blast you in the comments for claiming that going to failure every set is what's needed. Bodybuilding is something that has a very specific and important key point that not many people talk about. Preventing injury. If you get injured, you're going to get set back further than whatever extra sets to failure you did. Training to failure every set of every workout will deteriorate your body over time.

I'm the kind of person who has the mentality "if its not a perfect session why even go", and used to believe that I had to push to failure every time on a set. The problem with this is that I would always get completely exhausted, and it would actually ruin the vibe for me so much so that i stopped going to the gym. Maybe I'll go back now with the purpose of pushing 80-90% per day and then having one day a week or fortnight where I go 110%. This was a great informative video.

I find it more sensible too. Failures are for isolation exercises, while compound movements should be done in rep ranges with progressive overload. Pull-ups and bench press are the only compound movements you can go safely to failure on. There's too much weigh involved in squatting and deadlifting that going to failure every set would increase your chances of injury. You are more likely to break your form and if not, the neurological and muscle fatigue is soo great in these compound movements that it will affect your hypertrophy in that day's gym session. I always trained to failure but some exercises are not always meant for failure. Be smart, be safe, don't try this at home. WWE.

@@NunoAlexandreMB “key to long term health”. Almost every program that had huge amounts of programmed failure sets, I usually end up getting injured or burnt out significantly . I find it way more beneficial for muscle building (in my case) to consistently increasing weight while maintaining a consistent RPE. For instance, let’s say I do 100lb for 5 reps on bench week 1 and 2. Week 3 I do it for 6 reps and week 4 I do 7 reps. On week 5 I go back to 5 reps but increase my weight now to 105.

What I felt is best for me, is as follows: I try to be as strict in form as possible and do my reps, aiming for 70-100% (depending which set im doing. first:70, last: 100). In the last set, where I want to go 100%, I do strict form until I fail at it. Then I rest for a second (during the exercise ofc), concentrate, do one more. If I can pull of strict form again: keep going. If I fail twice, even after concentrating, that means I should stop. I surely could go on for more (and have done so in the past), but usually that leads to longer resting periods (3-4 days instead of 2) and higher risk of injury and starts engraving bad form into my head. So while its possible I could gain more in a single session by doing so, I highly doubt its worth it in the long term. But thats just from experience, not science.

To get a good idea of best weight to do reps on, put the weight up to where you can do 1-3 to absolute failure. Back that down until your sets are 8-15 to failure. Sets of 3-6 are good for absolute strength, but sets of 8-15 are best for hypertrophy. Sets of 15+ are still stimulative, but burn like hell and are difficult to judge actual failure

I really enjoy following the bioneers' approach to this, he mainly focuses on dropsets where you would go to technical/form failure on an exercise, and as soon as you reach technical failure you drop down to an easier variant of the movement to reach your limit. For example pushups with your legs raised down to regular pushups, down to pushups on your knees, and maybe even down to pushups against a wall after that. I'm very new to training seruously but so far this has allowed me to reach a point where I feel like I am at absolute failure, but I don't injure myself and recover relatively quickly since the movement pushing me to my limit isn't super challenging in itself. Probably not 100% optimal, but considering how low-effort it is when it comes to "calculating" and such which is often an issue for people, it's probably close enough
