Training To Failure ISN’T Complicated RIR | Dr. Mike Israetel RP

[@benjaminphilips7506]

I like this guy because he doesn't make you feel like a wimp or a pussy for not knowing or how to train to failure. I'm still having trouble and I just started and I've seen people ahead of me struggle too.

[@brennand933]

The ability to train to failure will come with time as your technique gets better and better. Keep up the grind

[@fredator76]

Lol

[@impulse894]

Dr. Mike is amazing. I highly recommend watching his videos.

[@fredator76]

@@impulse894 haha this dwarf smells like defeat miles away... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 At least if he was natty, but no, he advises orals only. Totally pathetic

One of my favorite pastimes is watching Renaissance periodization leg day videos

Esepcially after a hard workout

[@Alexnewwin88]

I love listening to Mike. Straight forward and easy to understand

[@TheHeatMMA]

Mike real deal is a hero for this generation 👏🏼

[@GleaMDMK]

That whole interview is gold.

[@Dementia.Pugilistica]

I thought I knew what failure was until I did a 50 rep rest pause squat set with 135 (max squat was only about 350 at the time). I collapsed just as I racked the bar and woke up to staff and gym members around me. I couldn’t stand up and my vision was completely grey and brown with spots and I had horrible chest pain. I had to go to the hospital for extreme exhaustion, hypertensive crisis and a mild heart arrhythmia. Couldn’t walk for a week. Thought I was dying. Great fun. Edit: I was also addicted to heroin at the time, so there’s that…

[@brennand933]

I’ve had similar experiences with the squat too. Everybody loves to squat until they have to do stupidly high reps with embarrassing amounts of weight. It sounds crazy to people who haven’t done it before, but it freaking works

[@kylelam2808]

LOL

[@domepiece11]

Check out the Chubbyemu video of the high school kid who squats and gets rhabdo.

[@fredator76]

50 rest pause reps with 135lbs and it burned you like that??? Lol

[@BonDraper]

Nobody breaks down mind muscle connection like Dr Mike. A lot of these other guys just throw the term around I think because it’s popular but very few explain exactly what you should be feeling. Seth Feroce is probably the only other person I watch that stresses getting that connection.

[@andrewhernandez9674]

I now understand something I've heard about for years but never saw for myself. A legitimate light bulb moment. Thank you.

[@nyguy5370]

Okay what he said at 7:01is exactly what I needed to hear.

[@MrEsPlace]

Listening to genuine experts in a field just makes me wonder more questions than answers they deliver. Super cool

[@josephcraig6519]

This is hands down the most helpful video I have ever watched for lifting

[@JGD185]

Actually I went to Spain and had some Spanish girls interested in me and I barely knew any of the language. They were also prostitutes but never let the truth get in the way of a good story

Listen to it twice

[@johncolter6743]

What an awesome conversation.

[@alliseeisW]

I learned about elitefts from Jeff C. from Athlean X. I love the coaching feedback provided by elitefts for powerlifting.

[@BeaterCar]

But the studies show you get muscle stimulus going up to 5 reps of failure.

[@jerzey22]

Dr.Mike is VERY well versed in the data. Search his name. You will be glad you did

[@ForzaOwnz]

The problem is that most people do not know what 5 reps to failure actually is. We are talking true, true failure; the type of failure Mike here is talking about So to say 5 reps to failure grows muscle, you're right. But to say to someone do 5 reps to failure you'll see that a fair majority of the time their 5 reps to failure is more like 7 and above

4:08-4:10 Mike looks like a baby who wants our of the car seat lmfao. Love Mike, just busting his balls about being short. Irl Mike would get the joke so don't @ me bro

[@randygentry2442]

But somehow we got a complicated answer

[@fredator76]

If you do 10 reps the same speed, it means the first 7 were useless cause you gave half effort...

[@lylemcdonaldisright]

If training to failure isn't that complicated, why can't Dr. Mike demonstrate it. I mean, he can make HOURS of video obfuscating what it is. But he can't do it. Every study shows bar speed slowdown at failure. Every one. There is no concentric cap and the muscles don't 'hit failure without hitting failure'. If bar speed didn't slow, you didn't hit failure. Every study shows this. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Or doesn't the science matter anymore? All he can do is talk in circles to bullshit people. And then spend an hour lying about me rather than just stepping up to me like a MAN would. Absolutely pathetic. Mike, get Dave to take you through a workout to true failure. Maybe you'll learn something. Or....just keep bs'ing people. It's what your best at.

[@Bromidias]

so sad, did mike hurt you?

[@mojohn1634]

@@Bromidias He hurt Mike actually lol, Mike can’t seem to stop with the kicking and screaming when someone mentions Lyle to him, pure obfuscation too

@@mojohn1634 it seemed to me mike won the debate (not his best for sure) but Lyle seems like a kid that keeps having tentrums, not a good look

Well, Mike doesn't know how to train to failure so..

Technique... Like you can get really strong for any period of time without correct technique.. who is this dwarf anyways?
