Managing the Costs of Training to Failure | Ep. 66

[@colintobin1497]

As an every-set-to-failure enjoyer, this is why I naturally gravitate towards higher frequency training. If you're only doing one exercise per muscle group on any given day, the fatigue buildup becomes much less of an issue.

Love the content guys. I find fatigue management during the workout heterogeneus from different exercises also. For me, using dropsets for 2-4 weeks, when I go back to straight sets, my ability to grind sets is greater

I probably agree with Zac at 27:25, you can just flip flop like a heavy and light workout on a powerlifting style programming, the first workout you prioritize the Leg Press performance, and the second workout the RDL. I just wanna add something probably it might depend from a person to another, a guy who can easily recover from a Leg Press and after do a RDL, I guess his performance wouldn't go down...I was talking about this with a colleague and I think that if you don't have a big event, like the general population, you can try first to manipulate those things trough the mesocycle and track the data, to see what works well for you!

One issue with compounds to failure is the supporting muscles have to work very hard as the prime movers are fatigued. Ultimately across your sets the prime mover is getting slightly less stimulus while the secondary muscles involved get higher stimulus the closer you are to failure. Sometimes that can also lead to tweaks in those secondary and supportive muscles involved.

You need to condense this into shorts or shorter videos of 3-8 minutes with the highlights only. I know this is a podcast but the information is golden but its too long to consume.

[@bullinvginshop9011]

I would prefer the videos to be 2-3x longer.

Honestly a fan of the long form content but they could just post clips as reels or condense the main takeaways from the pod topic into shorter
