The Biggest Training Tip I Learned This Year

[@Jason-gq8fo]

Last set of each exercise to failure seems like a good balance

[@rhyhood9328]

I prefer last set per muscle group to failure, and a drop set or two. If i do my chin ups to absolute failure on the last set, then my dumbbell rows wont go ao well after

[@delascroix]

Love this idea, I run something similar

[@JohnMkrv]

Mix it in with myo, mmm

[@Jan_nis2688]

I do last set to failure too and 1 rep in Reserve the sets before. When i can do 2 reps more in the last set, i know i can add 1 rep in the first two sets or add weight. Very objective way to train close to failure

[@lankymario7189]

so just train to failure all the time, because most ppl misjudge their own 'real failure', so by training to failure will just mean we are in fact training 'close to failure'

[@percy.garou1001]

It'll lead to systemic fatigue It's very taxing You'll feel like shit You're muscles will be sore too Train to failure But Take 1 week light Or even 2 week in a month

[@lankymario7189]

@@percy.garou1001 what i meant is that if 'people misjudge their real failure', then training to what you perceived as failure just means you are training 'close to failure'. And there been a lot of study that training close to failure is optimal. So if you think you are training to failure, it means you are probably training close to failure (which is optimal)

[@marco9056]

Yes most people’s failure is 1-2RIR

[@percy.garou1001]

@@lankymario7189 True, Once you grasp your range for failure You can implement breaks when you need

[@gsewew6080]

I'd say train to absolute failure for isolation exercises. You're not gonna be fatigued from going to failure on preacher curls and it can give you a good gauge on what failure feels like. If going to failure on every set of biceps makes you too sore for you next bicep session you can dial it back (maybe only go to failure the last 2 sets). Everyone has a different intensity that works for them. For compound movements leave 1-2 reps in the tank and go to failure on the last set.

[@justedu42]

"share it with your failure loving friends" mate, i know just the guy.

[@andrewcheng1998]

Having a spotter/audience/coach would make a lot of difference to failure

[@thelonespacemarine5211]

Ive been doing failure drop sets for the last set and it’s been great.

[@jonathanwynne6925]

Y'all would be surprised how much progress you can make training full body 1 set to failure daily. No need to worry about anything other than staying safe and exhausting the muscles.

[@emperor8716]

i read somewhere that when you hit failure, that’s when your training truly begins. not gonna discuss its accuracy but it sounds badass 😂

[@Spimmick]

Herschel Walker or Tyson maybe. The reps don't count until it hurts. That's when they count (something like that)

[@Ali-ns6fx]

It was Muhammad Ali about counting his situps.. ​@@Spimmick

[@Spimmick]

@Ali-ns6fx That was my 3rd guess.. lol thanks

[@gts3771]

It is complete bullshit and there is a reason every competitive Powerlifter uses RIR, but do whatever you want and limit yourself by fucking up yor SFR.

[@baldflyboysts]

I have discovered that failure by exhaustion is a serious consideration when living at altitude. My 12-15 reps per set would literally drain the energy out of me when lifting with the weights equivalent to my one rep max. Exercising to failure of specific muscles seems to be the context of lifting until failure, but having "no gas in the tank" near the end of the set is completely different. I understand why people train at altitude, if possible, as the body normally attempts to adapt to the lower amount of oxygen per breath over time. The benefits are apparent when moving at a lower altitude, e.g. running up a few flights of stairs in Denver without trying to catch your breath is a welcomed surprise. I have compassion for people who ski in Colorado and need to stop after a couple hundred yards to catch their breath.

[@imadogsass6717]

If possible, train low and sleep high.

[@baldflyboysts]

@imadogsass6717 Is there an alternate context to that statement? 🤔😁 Colorado has built a reputation around being high, beyond the altitude.

[@Kaizen747]

the animations are getting better 👌

[@PowerYuLiu]

The risk of injury with training to failure is so much greater. I personally don’t think it’s worth it.

[@bhishmapitamah287]

not if you maintain control over the weight and your technique stays relatively good

[@garymadlon3028]

​@@bhishmapitamah287 exactly

[@garymadlon3028]

If u toaste the weight like a jerk with ass technique yeah u gonna Hurt urself

[@WhatIfUrMistaken]

Also, just a note, training to failure doesn't mean putting on the most weight you can lift to failure. You can also lift lighter weight to failure. As a lifter in my '50s, I use a lighter weights to failure. Much less risk of injuries.

[@BammyQ]

If I also feel like a failure, does it affect my gains?

[@MasterBuller]

I've been doing both for like 2 months: 4 sets of 3 exercises with heavy loads at 6 to 8 reps 4 sets of 2 exercise to failure And my pumps been getting bigger and even gained more mass, so I'd recommend trying both if you're feeling stagnated

[@DivaRoach]

I think an important piece is that failure is going to feel different to every individual and the rep ranges that the person prefers to hit failure. I have a low rep failure weight range. I have a medium rep failure weight range and they have a high rep failure rep range and I usually train in one rep range per quarter. But lately I've been doing one rep range. One day. Another rep range another day. I am not sure if this will yield better results but I'm curious

[@MuhammadImran-hz3gn]

Finally progressive overload still prevail

[@Jan_nis2688]

Wait until you learn about steady state training like gymnasts do sometimes 👀 then you doubt yourself again

[@HardRockMiner]

[@Palkia678]

[@HardRockMiner]

@Palkia678 - It's funny how you seem to know how opinions work, but only when it's yours. Have you spoken to your therapist about this?

[@WhatIfUrMistaken]

Just a note, training to failure doesn't mean putting on the most weight you can lift to failure. You can also lift lighter weight to failure as well. As a lifter in my '50s, I use a lighter weights to failure. Much less risk of injuries, great results.

[@HansWurst77777]

Is failure to train any kind of effective too?

[@moneyhafimek]

This is why I train with light weight and high volume because it’s safer to train to or close to failure. Too heavy and failure happens too quick leaving me unfulfilled . Moderately heavy and joints may hurt preventing consistency. Light weight + high reps(20 or more) or high sets (5 or more) + full range and moderate concentric and eccentric is the best way for me. Do your own thing though because I’m 45 and natural only taking 1 protein shake per day and no creatine. When I was younger I could do whatever I wanted.😂

[@donmerrigan2362]

It can also harder to actually hit true failure that way. But it can be just as effective if done properly.

[@balanced_barrister]

"failure loving friends" dayum

[@Dankdalorde]

Today I learned you’re not actually a triangle man. No for real tho this is solid new advice - I tried to be a bodybuilder so I paid money for a coach. Thought I wasted my money when I couldn’t commit to it financially (that and the drugs) but one thing I did learn and felt was training to failure. Got reps out like I’ve never done before and even was able to rep out weights I used to think I couldn’t do - because I thought 35lbs for laterals was too heavy so there’s no point going above 30lbs.

[@bomzbero]

What kind of failure do you mean? Like, failing at a bench press alone (no safety pins) might be different with failing at a bench press with a spotter.

[@sor3999]

Failure is being unable to do a rep at your normal pace. Do -1 rep next time.

[@raivuxa]

As most of my exercises are bodyweight or weighted callisthenics, it's hard to predict which rep will be the last because of fluctuating bodyweight 😅

[@vanderhaegenj]

Like if you are in #TeamFailure !

[@vanderhaegenj]

No wait that came out wrong

[@entreprenerd1963]

We have nothing to fail but failure itself.

[@maharato487]

I always train to failure but with less sets than before, I believe in quality over quantity

[@emreyilmaz2243]

If you want to know what real failure feels like, pick up a weight you're comfortable with and do the exercise until you physically can't move it anymore. Next time, you'll know how close you are to failure with the actual weight you're working with

[@jlalonde1000]

I trian to failure with rest pause set on single joint movement as fatigue is very low on these exercises and you can save a butload of time you could train to failure on biceps and triceps 5 days a week for months with out needing a break

[@nerdexproject]

Agree, it's exactly how I train.

[@non_ifbb_bro]

Train to you think it's failure with some muscle tension, then drop the weight then train to failure there. rinse... repeat.

[@bryanholmes7698]

I don’t think it’s fair to say that spending more time on one recommendation is bias. It’s whether or not you spend extra time looking for data that fits one recommendation over another

[@rhaven090]

Why train to failure when I already am?

[@sebastiand152]

So, how close is close?

[@Greg_Chock]

1-2 reps

[@istvankertesz3134]

Thankfully I'm good with failures.

[@tilmanrotationalinvariant2257]

I know, I that I know how to train to failure. How? Anytime I don't down regulate my training I get injured 😂

[@mb5970]

i almost never train to failure. I dont like it. Makes my form go bad.

[@pproa17]

Is anyone else curious about this guys physique?

[@DZGMR94]

Nah, ive seen results after training to failure my brother.

[@jonathanwynne6925]

Do you have any pics of yourself online? I'm always curious what fitness people that don't show themselves actually look like and if it would undercut their advice.

[@imsandhu9827]

What to comment?

[@someguyusa]

Training to failure is stupid on its face. How do you think humans survived over time if they couldn't get stronger without physically exhausting themselves? That's a recipe for death in nature. Besides, I grew up on a farm. As long as you work hard consistently, you get stronger.

[@Bruno-xc2hm]
