It Makes No Sense NOT training to failure. You're views? I don't go to failure every set because its bad for your CNS(researched). But I'll admit its great for building strength.
It Makes No Sense NOT training to failure. You're views? Ive read this here&there no actual sources though that I've seen! Interesting, Have any Sources you'd like to Share?
It Makes No Sense NOT training to failure. You're views? I usually don't go to failure intentionally. For me i hit each muscle group 2x a week with 70-85% of my 1RM. I used to go to failure on almost every set and i was making very slow strength gains. Then i read an article written by kelechi opara on why going to failure too much is a bad idea as well as doing too many sets. I applied this too my training and now i'm making much better strength gains.
