Is Training to FAILURE Necessary?

[@kritav1111]

@@uwua6509 Or it could also mean that if you have an idea then only go ahead with it and if you don't then stop before you injure yourself, I train to failure in 4-5 exercises and don't in others simply because sometimes I don't understand where my technique could be going wrong, I've also found that sometimes failure is more a failure of some other body part if it's a compound movement and I need to develop that part more

[@andrewolesen8773]

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.

[@PictureFit]

Common misconception is that you have to "feel" like you did work in order to get a good exercise in. Elite powerlifters often go with 1-rep training sessions with nowhere close to failure training nor heavy volume. A better approach is creating a program that you know is effective and making sure you follow through with the program. Don't rely on "feel." Rely on consistency.

[@andrewolesen8773]

That was a quick reply! That is a good point you bring up, but when I mentioned psychological I meant more from a mental health perspective. As you mentioned in your video training to failure has its pros and cons from a physical stand point. From a psychological stand point however I think by training to failure a lot of people would find they have a lot more strength and endurance than they initially thought. I can't speak for everybody, but I know when I accomplish something I didn't think I was capable of, I become really happy.

[@PictureFit]

Yea, if it is a matter of seeing how far you can push your boundaries and how that makes you feel, then I agree with you. The only thing I do not attest is that pushing said boundaries is indicative of a good work.

[@ilovefootball09]

For calisthenics training to failure is a necessity, because you can't increase the weight. But for weight lifting it is not recommended because of the reasons stated in the video. Remember, in the long run we have a natural limit for growth, wich can be attained with consistency wether you train optimally or not. So staying injury free may be more optimal because it doesn't pull you away from the gym.

[@KEN-tg4qy]

I mix it up together. Training to failure gives you a kind of satisfaction too. It feels like you're going for your limit.

[@artboy598]

[@monroerobbins7551]

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.

[@rickolag2344]

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.

[@Evandarlingisdaddy]

Making your body feel like it’s fighting for survival is good because it builds testosterone

[@Clementslay]

"IT DEPENDS"

[@SirPetterTheFirst]

I toke fitness class in college for 2 session, the direct translation from my language is a body building class, and the teacher, in between making sure we had good training, and good theoretical understanding, told us to always make sure that on our last set, the last reps would be a failure to do it properly, to know that we have the proper weights or intensity

[@bunating]

great topic, nice to see the research you did. training to failure has definitely given me gains in the past however I am shying away from it these days. Going to failure increases the time needed to rest (can't workout then), increased my muscle soreness dramatically and potential for injury. I heard from an elite military trainer to not train to failure as it will make you too sore to perform in emergency situations, which makes sense. Even everyday things like walking up/down stairs, lifting household items, etc.. became hard for me cause my muscles were way too taxed, let alone emergency situations lol. The military trainer said don't go to failure and so you will be able to train more often and still be less sore in your rest time.

[@24ananthkevin]

All the others do not even answer the question... you are the only one on KZbin who is to the point... thank you

[@PictureFit]

Glad to help!

[@redking4909]

Training to failure is best specially using heavy weight with proper form and minimum rest atleast 2 min, you may see a decline in reps as sets go on but it is good because muscles are being pushed to their limits thus reduce in reps is a good and normal thing, beginners see no additional results in failure traning because they are newbies they can even grow muscle with crossfit training

[@paule.2687]

did you even watch the video? it's not neccesary

[@99gagaman]

Paul E. Take every source of information with a grain of salt. PictureFit wouldn't want you to take his word with 100% face value. He may side with failure training as being unnecessary, but others may disagree with him. Both sides of this argument are right on the small details.

[@jimmorrison5832]

I think you need a certain amount of volume, but I don't think high volume is the answer...low to medium volume, in my opinion is best...working each muscle close to 2x per week or 2x in 8 or 9 days...

[@PictureFit]

He sure did.

[@AntonioDal.]

I go to failure every set of my workouts until the point where the last rep is just too slow. That last very slow rep if done, will make you tired very fast and decrease amount of sets you can do in your workout by a lot. Just get very close to failure every set and you will make fastest gains atleast in my 8 years of experience.

[@jimmorrison5832]

It's been not only proven by many studies, but also by the countless pro bodybuilders and lifters before steroids were even invented that going to failure is simply not necessary...and can over tax your body, making it difficult to recover.

[@LastBastian]

Pepe, "I go to failure every set" ... "Just get very close to failure every set" -So which is it? Personally, I say go close to failure every set except your *last.* DO go to failure on your last set on most lifts. That has given the best results in my experience. (at my PB I could bench twice my body weight.)

[@LuideMulumba]

Failure training always messes up the rest of my sets, so I normally try to avoid it.

[@cekodoto9052]

[@MrDemonB]

Failure & super set on lagging body parts is another option. My style.

[@PictureFit]

Often, pros recommend leaving "one in the tank." Do as many reps as you can minus one. For example, after your 9th rep, you feel you can do one more but not two, then you stop there. This will keep you better off for subsequent sets.

[@Fjerid]

I have been working out consistently for the past 2,5 years and always to failure. I have hit a plateau, stuck in place for a almost a year. So I decided to change things up, more weight & less reps! No more til failure and man... I have been hitting PRs AND I finally feel energetic instead of exhausted all the time. This video just verifies my initial thoughts! Lovely vid.

[@NegativePressure]

I always feel like I'm not working hard enough if I don't go to failure. It's going to be a hard mental block to get over honestly.

[@happybirthdayfatass]

If you're a experienced in lifting and don't ever train to failure then no, you aren't working hard enough. If you're in your first year of lifting, then training to failure is probably not necessary, and will be more likely to set you back. But as your muscles adapt and get stubborn about growing, training to failure is a useful tool.

[@Pablo123456x]

[@sheldoncooper8199]

Can we just agree that training Heavy and to Failure is better for growth then training for High Reps with Light weight ?

[@Ash-wu9yx]

Please choose 1.... light weight to failure or heavy weight only half way reps to failure

[@boondoggle4820]

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.

[@WorldChampInfinity]

Training to failure was way too painful. I've been doing 3 rep sets and I'm loving it.

[@stefanos7724]

Any results though?

[@Fjerid]

3 rep sets? Even strength training requires 5 reps... how is that working out for you though?

[@chrono8233]

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.

[@dmitriyn8255]

Lifting to failure is good as long as you don’t lift too heavy and don’t do it on every exercise. As a dedicated hard lifter for 20 years I can say that I have damaged joints and tendons due to heavy lifting to failure. That was always my way. After I started to experience pains in those areas with age I lowered my weight and would only go to failure on the last set of the exercise. So you do 3 sets per exercise then go to failure on the last set. Also 4 exercises is more than sufficient for a body part. Unless you get paid lots of money to be a professional athlete, lifting to failure every time will catch up to you and cause you more pain in the end than it’s worth. You may not be as strong lifting this way, but you will be in just as good of shape physically.

[@MusicHouse46]

I've only been going to the gym for just over a month, I'm 16, and started training to failure after one week. I've been taking at least one protein shake a day and seen pretty big gains in strength and muscle mass.

[@inquisitiveveteran9457]

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.

[@septicbile2901]

I recently bought new weights because it was starting to take a while to reach failure.

[@scorpionz44]

i mean its common sense, if the volume is the same, the result shuld be the same. dont think of it as getting stronger but ur body adapting to the weight, and reps and everything. so if volume is the same, then the result will be the same

[@justj2440]

Full failure means more recovery & less volume = less gym time = more free time while making optimal gains. My belief

[@99gagaman]

I don't go to failure. I go as far as I can with almost perfect or perfect form, as soon as that wavers I stop and rest for the next set. But I actually do sometimes when doing concentrated bicep curls I will train pass failure. I'll do as many reps until failure, then go for more but using my other arm to help pull the weight up. It is one of those things you don't do if you don't like pain, but I've learned to love the pain in my workouts, only way to grow.

[@exbassguide]

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.

[@elishajohnson8687]

You can still hit failure with moderate weights. Endurance+strength at moderate weight not light or heavy is the best method.

[@phantasyphotography3813]

I like to go to failure on isolated exercises that I can do safely. If I can do an easy compound exercise with dumbbells like a bench press or shoulder press, then I will take it to failure occasionally. Going to failure on dumbbell bench press feels really good and it can be a good thing for people like me who would only work the chest one day a week.

[@formerevolutionist]

I don't train to failure, but I use failure as feedback on how much I should be lifting.

[@Thalazon]

I usually set aside one full week of failure training. Usually I do two weeks of standard lifts, followed by a week of pyramid style failure training, and then I take a week to rest. The "rest" week I just do 45 minutes of cardio 6 days in a row.

[@Urkelsam12]

Interesting topic, and since I just got back from the gym, I feel inclined to throw in my 2cents. (Also, I hope you're reading the comments to collect data) Training to failure works better for me in certain exercises like Lat Pull-Downs, most bicep/tricep, leg extensions, and forearms. Also being hydrated, well rested & quality meal helps a ton. It's not necessary to work till failure with exercises for back and shoulders, especially with a too much weight

[@neils68]

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.

[@samturner9804]

On the flip side, as a PT I've found there are a lot of people who will not train to failure, but are not using nearly enough weight to get a good stimulus on the muscles. They do their 3 sets of 10 when they could have done 30 at that weight which isn't going to help anything because they're not properly utilising progressive overload. Perhaps you could talk more specifically about that in another video, if you haven't already. Could help some people.

[@spark708]

I don't understand. How can a study compare 2 people with the same volume and intensity if one person is training to failure and the other isn't ? The one training to failure clearly will do more intensity and volume to reach failure ?? Explain to me somebody :(

[@kritav1111]

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

[@christopherclarkin9584]

I am not able to push myself to failure anymore. I used to go to failure on every set because I thought I was supposed to. I had to rest a long time between sets.

[@mridularul1]

One key difference of doing heavier weights but low reps vs lighter weights but high reps is the ratio of your fast/slow twitch muscles. As a muscle trained to do light weight with high reps would be a lot faster in terms of punching and optimal muscle efficiency if trained the right way , without extra bulk . Whereas a heavy weight low rep would give more strength but less speed and less efficiency ... just a matter of choice really

[@HughLeFitness]

It depends.

[@vice.nor.virtue]

Never training to failure again on inclined sit up bench. I felt something twitch in a bad way on the left side of my abs at failure point and it took a week and a half to recover. MAN i was sore!!

[@cmcmartialarts7]

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.

[@juliancazzola1246]

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

[@οπρωτεινημονο]

I am always taking it to the failure, even though sometimes I wont be able to complete all my sets

[@yuh8627]

Do you do that every exersice?

[@ALPHACIPHER]

I don't know if the studies took into account a number of factors like the frequency a particular muscle group is targeted on a weekly basis, the cycle of the training regimen (is it heavy weight on day X for chest and then slightly lighter weight but increased volume on day Y for chest or is it the same weight on all days) or the type of exercise methodology on those particular days (was it eccentric or concentric?). My advice (which I borrow from James Linker over at Shredded Sports Science) is to absorb all of these studies and methodologies and construct a training program that suits your needs. A recent study also noted that if a muscle group is targeted more than once per week, it is better to not always go to failure on ALL of your sets (rather reserve that emergency tank for a particular set of a particular exercise, most likely the last one) as going to failure every single time will hamper your recovery. From experience, this small change allowed me to move from bro splits to push pull legs splits without feeling extremely burned out the next day.

[@Charlie-hh5ke]

The reason training to failure is so good is because it almost always means you will engage in progressive overload, which is the most important thing. Without overloading the muscle then there's not much point.

Nathan Ash Yes I am talking about a gym session. I heard that after one hour of workout your testosterone level drops and the negative hormones begins to rise like cortisol. That's why I need a clarification on that.

[@jurgen4796]

Well what you should want is to workout in the gym good and effectively, for example with cardio: u can walk on a treadmill for 60 mins to get ur idk 100 calories burned, or u can run on a treadmill for 20 mins to get ur 100 calories burned. For weight training: u can do 40 reps with 20 pounds which will take 10 mins or so, or u can do 8 reps with 40 pounds which will take only a minute.

[@PrecisionPulseCapital]

Science confirms that testosterone drops after roughly 1 hour of working out depending on level of performance. THe higher the performance (heart rate, weights pushed etc) the quicker T will drop.

[@ALPHACIPHER]

Maximum should be an hour

[@blizzardl]

finally not "it depends"

[@Kevn3000]

I maybe wrong here, but I feel like training to failure is good in the short run because you plateau quicker. But no-failure is good for long-term. I basically go to failure or close to failure on some sets but not all of them. I never go to failure on bench though.

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?

at 03:00 minute. The fiber of muscles were checked? I mean failure gp. has more type 2 fiber vs type 1 fiber in muscles?

[@imback2killu328]

It depends...

[@Keon994]

Wow so I actually don't have to train to failure on every single set or even at all as long as the weight still feels like I'm doing something and I keep increasing the weight on the exercise each week? This is so groundbreaking for me. It was drilled into my head that I must always train to failure on about the 12th rep or so from all the traditional exercise advice. Perhaps the failure mark is most useful as a strength marker of sorts?

Main lifts squat deadlift bench press do 1 rep less instead failure. Failure taxing on the body n you can prolly do n extra set with more reps if no failure

Great channel!

I have a question about green tea. I saw your video about green tea, but I also heard it causes liver damage. What are your thoughts about that? I drink between two-three cups of matcha green tea a day, but is that too much? Thanks.

I always try to do a planned workout like let’s say 4x8. 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.

I'm calling it, IT DEPENDS!

Foundere fuck beat me to it

[@MarsuveezBlack]

That's why it's best to NORMALLY train to failure with your post workout. So as not to compromise your main exercises for that day and to squeeze out the last little bit of juice your muscles have at the end. Normally! Some days your can change it up for the sake of surprising your muscles and train to failure the whole time. Just keep things interesting in the gym.

[@ccoooocc9714]

on your dropsets video you said that dropsets achieved muscle growth quicker thus training to failure won, here you're slightly disagreeing, so what's correct?

Please do a video on what research says about running… in terms of effects on strength and overall health. Thanks!
