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.
@PictureFit6 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
@dmitriyn82557 жыл бұрын
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.

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 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.

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

I'm thinking about trying some super high frequency training. i've been doing pull ups everyday (about 10 every hour) and the results are amazing. i don't add reps, just make the reps harder with longer holds and negatives. I've recently managed to finish my home gym and now have everything i need for a decent full body workout. what does the science say on training full body training like 5/6 days a week? as a foot note, i already have a body composition i'm pretty happy with and i'm not too interested in gaining or losing weight. I'm 6 foot and weight 80kg +/- 2kg

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

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.

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 do the reps I have to do and when I finish I try to continue doing as many as I can. That's a form of training to failure I guess, and I don't think it's particularly harmful.

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.

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.

Best to do the last set of every workout to failure and then drop the weight to half and do more (drop set)

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!!

Can u make 2 videos? 1- explaining how long should we exercise? Because some trainers tell me only 45-60 minutes and then after that that muscles will break down.. And other trainers say that its okay if i train for an hour and a half it doesnt matter... 2- what/when should we eat/take after the workout? Because some people say that i should take the protein shake immediately after the workout and some say after half an hour.. And also eat.. Something bout insulin and growth hormone

I like going to failure on safe, lighter exercises, where I’m not likely to mishandle any of the weights. Exercises like bicep curls, lateral deltoid raises, or any cable machine. I definitely don’t go to failure on squats, deadlifts, or bench press without a spotter.

Always liked your content. Please talk about newbie gainzzzz~! Does overweight/obese person have them as well? Often I heard people be like "dont waste your newbie gainz" or "get gainz as much as you can when you just started lifting"; what do they mean? Looking forward to it. Cheers PicFit~!
