3 KEY Tips on How To Lift To Failure To Build MUSCLE & Not OVERTRAIN | Mind Pump 2186

[@huckjunoy]

As a single mums daughter with no relation with my father I have no trust in mens. But listen to you guys talking about your wives and families make me believe than mens can be good couples and fathers. Thanks for all your content not only fitness related!

[@MindPumpShow]

Thank you for that!

Doug is just frugal. He doesn’t spend on cheap things, he buys things that has value and lasts. I love that! It's a good way to be.

[@sternits]

Doug, tell your mom I absolutely relate to her shopping habits. I not only love thrift shopping but I only thrift shop when the store is having a sale. 😂

Jay Cutler did a podcast with Fouad Abiad where he said he never goes to failure and never does dropsets or forced negatives.

[@frostiib3204]

Just don’t confuse failing with quitting and you should be green

Mind Pump is changing lives out here! I've upped my gym IQ significantly since subscribing to this channel!!!!

[@alexbromley9384]

I just finished Maps anabolic advanced last Saturday. I’ve been obsessively consistent with diet and training for almost 5 years. I’ve seen more lean mass growth in the last 12 weeks than the previous few years. I was overtraining very consistently. Now after running AA I’ve gotten more compliments from complete strangers at the grocery store on my physique than ever before in my life. Thanks for writing an amazing program. I did not expect the results ive gotten. Looks like Sal does know a thing or two about training.

[@ZenobiaRice]

I started doing the daily gratitude every day with my kids about a year ago and it’s been such a huge change. The youngest started out having a hard time even thinking of one thing on days when something upsetting happens at the end of the day. Now he easily rattled off two or three. In the beginning if he struggled with thinking of something we would go back and read gratitudes from the previous days and that would help him refocus on the positive.

[@evec2022]

I've been watching your podcasts for 3 months or so and I've been thinking about doing a powerlifting competition! I'm 105lbs but I've been lifting heavy exactly as you recommend and changing it up occasionally to vary the stimulus and I'm gaining strength so fast I wouldn't believe myself if I didn't see it with my own eyes! Great questions today, nearly all of it was relevant to me (minus the SARMS)!

[@Austin.Johnson215]

[@ara912]

The best part for me in each episode asides all the great valuable information is getting that real human part of each one of you I believe this is what has made your podcast the best is seeing your real human side and make us love your family and our own through your experiences and stories I go back and think about my own personal life and give back the value where it belongs You are right you can’t hate or dislike someone who loves your kids but the opposite is the same … you can’t love or have a good relationship with someone who doesn’t love your kids ❤

[@johnnyelias5663]

Thank you guys for everything and for all your contributions to the bodybuilding community, 2 months ago my deadlift was 315 lbs, then I bought the old times fitness program and 4 days ago I finished phase 3 of the program. The very good news is I tried deadlift yesterday and I hit 375 lbs, it was 315 for 3 reps, 335 for 3 reps, 355 for 2 reps then 375 for one rep and I am very happy with the results after just halfway off the program. Thank you again.

[@NikosDala]

So I have a problem with my lower back, and i wasn't squatting or deadlifting because I didn't want to make it more serious. Imagine your back hurting 24/7 all year round from the age of 12 years old. Then one week ago I took your advice, Wednesday 'shoulders and legs' I squat for the first time, I finish my workout, I come home have a shower making something to eat, I put the food in the oven and I sit down. I'm like "man something is missing" for 5 minutes. Then I realise that the pain is gone and I'm like "noooo way" for 15 minutes. Turning around left right standing up sitting down to make sure you know. Incredible just like that. Thank you very much guys!

I couldn't go through my fitness journey without you guys! Best info out there!

[@ryandeffley7652]

What I like doing is one set to failure on isolation movements in full body workouts after my main compound lifts are done. There is no risk of safety when you're curling, lateral raising, etc aside from just having to put the weight down and stop. But failing on a bench press or squat, for instance, does have risk.

[@DeNayaWilkersonArtsandWellness]

Hello! I’m DeNaya :), I’ve been listening to you all for a few months now. I am a dancer, yogi, personal trainer, and artist. I am currently working towards gaining more weight, eating more calories, and protein. I believe that my natural energetic nature maybe eating away at me gaining soo i’m intentionally slowing down, less reps, less sets. I have been learning a lot from your videos. I work most with active older adults and I really want to help them achieve results and be safe. I am currently studying for nasm cpt, senior specialist, and nutrition certs. I really want to get my own weight up.

I used to do HIT 6-8 reps to failure + rest pause. Now I do 8-15 over 2-3 sets with the last set being failure set. HIT was good but brutal on the body over time. 4-6 sets per bodypart is a good compromise.

[@JamesEast-iy3ov]

Thank you.. I've been waiting on this episode. I was going through Anabolic Advance until I stupidly cut myself with a box cutter and had to get 12 stitches. So I had to stop. I do notice that I am going to failure but my other muscle failure first... so I am so excited

[@macmclark65]

You guys.. I need you to bring back Justin's true power. His ad powers, that is. I go back and catch up throughout my workday, at episode 853, the beginning. I've never been so impressed by someone's smeagle voice 😂😂

I think about those ads at least once a month, glad you enjoyed them 😂

[@OctoberOmicron]

Oh man ephedrine. Speaking of dumb things we took in our teens I remember the one period I took something questionable. From what I could find the ad that inspired me aired in 2000. I fell for it as a silly 18-year old because HHH was the athlete used in the add, so it got me pumped hahaha. It was called MetaCuts, from Weider/Metaform. I shifted to Hydroxycut a few years later and that was thankfully the end of it.

[@pbmustard1830]

I go to failure too much. Excited to listen to this episode 😊👍

[@Nobodyyoucarabout]

Hey guys, im one of those guys who did Heavy Duty, I made insane gains for 2 months and then a hard plateau, switched back to traditional volume training and busted through the plateau. I now use Heavy Duty in 2 week spurts of only 5 workouts in 2 weeks, every so often, a few months or so. im curious if anabolic advanced is a similar pattern, love you guys

Sal please look into guys such as drew baye , Doug McGuff, jay vincent . These individuals are the best when it comes to high intensity training principles. Especially drew baye, he’s taught and trained using these principles for over 30 years I respect and love what you guys do but the information being provided here barely scratches the surface of High intensity training principles.

[@mattcoorey2580]

@@MindPumpAdam if this is the mind pump Adam. I can’t lie I’m quite disappointed , “ lol” response is the last thing I would expect from you or any member of this organization. Especially considering my intent wasn’t to come across rude or anything in that way I didn’t say you or Sal were dumb, perhaps you internalize that because I said the information being provided here barely scratches the surface. But I’m speaking the truth I’ve yet to see any mind pump member discuss high intensity principles to the level of degree of understanding to the other mentioned names above.

@@2old4allthis I’m not aware of John Hart, so I can’t comment on him. But Jay Cutler unless his training style has changed over the years. I’m not sure I would add him to the list. A lot of these guys think high intensity training is simply just training to failure and it’s so much more than that.

What!? This is foreign to me, I push hard every lift everyday. Do you mean to tell me I can ease up and get better results? I believe you and yet at the same time I’m skeptical. Prove it

[@Jackjack1978.]

I really don't understand what these guys are talking about in my own experience. I have always had to push myself in every workout to extreme limits see significant head turning muscle growth. I've always gone to failure for the most part and on the rare occasions I'm not going to failure on any particular set It's within a couple of reps at most. Did that just rest when my body tells me I need to rest. If it's chest shoulders and tri day, But I'm too tired then I'll wait longer. I mean at the end of the day, hypertrophy is only happening out of necessity. You have to inflict enough intensity upon the body to where your muscles have no choice but to grow bigger. And that doesn't come through casual workouts. At least not in my 27 years of bodybuilding.

[@tristanmariano6736]

Was surprised to hear Doug mentioned Imelda Marcos. She’s the mother of our current president in the Philippines. Yes, she owned hundreds of shoes.

[@justingonzales4935]

My ideology is; never go 100% in training. Training is to get better. To develop to mind and body. You only go 100% when during your “sporting event” or when an actual life or death situation is happening in real life. Saving somebody, carrying somebody, picking up something to save somebody etc.. that’s when you put your body on the line. NOT during training. Training is supposed to help you when those actual life situations happen.
