As someone who recently took disability leave for a knee injury, let me say: getting muscle gains fast is easy, but making your joints strong enough to handle those weights takes way longer (10x longer). While its nice to get strong, I advise everyone not to rush it, because being strongly muscled doesnt protect against joint and ligament tears. Take it slow, like a year slow, and ramp up your fitness over months. Avoid injury, build strong long term habits. Cheers

Your bones max weight is already predetermined , it’s the ligaments around those bones you need to strengthen. Your joints are made to carry YOU anything extra is just wear and tearing them down faster. A healthy person who does not lift extremely extra weight joints will last a lot longer than someone lift for competition. While the lifter would be stronger, over the years the non lifters joints would be in much better condition. Not to discourage lifting though it’s good to get stronger.

I always realize that whenever I start to think "alright this is my point of failure", I start to feel my muscles give out. Whenever I catch myself thinking that, I try to block it out and think the opposite, and quickly realize I have at least 2 or 3 more reps in me. It really has to be emphasized how important the right mentality is when you exercise. When you're mentally pumping yourself up as hard as possible and *still* can't get that rep through, that's when you're training to failure.

There is a few issues with failure though, especially if done regularly. 1. It’s demotivating. I wanna actually enjoy the gym and feel like I’m getting a good workout without really killing myself. 2. The rest of your workout is going to suffer, you’re gonna have to continuously drop the weight, reps and sets to continue. 3. There’s an increase risk of injury, especially with a heavy weight. If you’re pushing it to the max it only takes a slight weakness/imbalance for something to give. Recently experienced that with a knee injury on the squat.

There’s a difference between training to failure to build more gains, and training to failure that leads to a severe injury that takes you out of the gym for weeks at a time.

I don't see not pushing hard enough as a problem because you are always adding sets,reps or tempo so eventually you will reach failure anyway. It would be like starting straight leg deadlifts and adding 1,25kg on each side of the bar per week, eventually you will reach failure even if you started with weight that was too low.

I remember I was told something that always stayed with me when training to failure. The reason why we get bigger from failure is because your body will naturally adapt to the challenges you face so if your going to failure your body will make your muscles bigger to cope with that. It’s just a simple survival mechanisms that the body uses to evolve and adapt

Broscience. You don't grow from killing yourself in the gym, you grow from the work you can recover from.

Simple put in the work

I usually call failure the point where even if you had a gun to your head you couldnt do another rep

NOTES: Do you need to train to failure to make significant gains? Yes and no. "No" in the sense that leaving a rep or two in the tank is still a high enough level of effort to build muscle at or near your maximum potential. But "yes" in the sense that... how can you know where a rep or two short of failure is if you've never actually trained to real failure in the first place? As @jpgcoaching mentions here, most people significantly under estimate their true proximity to failure and think they're much closer than they actually are. This is especially true on big compound movements (particularly lower body exercises) that involve heavier loads and greater overall systemic stress. The total body discomfort these lifts produce is more likely to cause you to terminate the set early even if the targeted muscle still has quite a few potential reps remaining. Remember, true muscular failure is exactly that: *muscular* failure. It's where you can't physically perform another rep in proper form despite your best effort. The level of mental discomfort you feel is irrelevant - as long as the weight is still moving with solid technique then you haven't failed yet. In any case, the bottom line is that, while training to failure is not a must in the absolute sense in order to build muscle effectively (though when it comes to achieving *maximum* long term gains I'd say including at least some all out sets here and there has benefits)... It IS a must for the obvious reason that pushing yourself to the limit will teach you what failure actually is, and thus what 1 rep in reserve, 2 reps in reserve etc. is as well.

You can work out a really simple method of building strength and size using % of 1RM adjusted to relative intensity and get really good gains without hurting yourself in ranges of 80-95% relative intensity… in other words 80-95% of failure, while still really working the muscle and technique without breaking down your form or your connective tissues.

@@ricardopattinson9318 You can count the reps, but just keep doing it until you physically can’t anymore. That is when you are training until failure. When your muscles literally just give out by themselves. Personally I trained pushups until failure for a very long time and I think that this was great for me longterm because even though I got sore in the beginning I got way stronger very fast and I don’t ever get hurt from pushups anymore.

Rep failure/ technical failure is a tough thing to guage since it can feel and act differently depending on type of movement, free weight vs machine, etc. It is more of a learned thing where you keep it in mind for weeks and months.

Don’t make this harder than it should be. Do 3-4 sets per exercise, take the last 1-2 sets to faillure and you’re good to go making gains. RPEs and RIRs are fun concepts used to communicate how hard one is training, but apparently people Otten gauge it wrongly.

@mence5992

the problem is that 90% of people think their set went to failure. but they were actually 2-3 reps from failure. especially when they train high reps, rarely I see someone reaching true failure when they go over 8 reps. I personally find it really hard to reach real failure after 15reps, because mental fatigue become unsustainable. So when their failure sets are sets with 2-3 reps in the tank, their reps with some kind of buffer are series with really high buffer and close to be junk volume.

@LuciolaSama

@@mence5992 i can see how people would have a hard time rating their perceived effort or how many reps might still be in the tank, but taling a set to failure is quite binary. There are reps left or not. If that is too complex to grasp for a novice, I really don’t see how RPEs and RIRs are going to make it any clearer.

@@LuciolaSama ​ Technically yes, but actually no. Exercise is tied to mental effort largely, whether you are conscious about it or not. Your mind is not that simple to just exert 100% of its force at all times whenever you feel like it. If that could happen, there would be no procrastination or lazyness in this world, ever. So in practice, the higher the reps are, the more mental effort it is there to reach true actual failure, and it is less about simply the muscles reaching its failure. The harder it is to judge, by the result. Largely depends on the person in question, though. Majority of people(beginners?) in practice probably don't have the mental capacity to judge their actual failure. They(or their body) will consciously, or subconsciously think "what if this weight injuries me, this is painful, I probably shouldn't do that", and it could be trained only with (successful) experience. "If that is too complex to grasp for a novice, I really don’t see how RPEs and RIRs are going to make it any clearer." - No comment about this, just wanted to clear things up about failure and its perception by beginners.

It doesn't even hurt anymore when you get used to it, you actually feel good doing it cuz your brain release endorphins to hide all the pain... it only hurts at first, just like when you went to the gym first day the next day it sore, but after awhile soreness is gone

Man, the laugh at the end, I think thats mostly the reaction of any guy at the gym when you know its gonna be your last rep and you're pushing it like crazy

Ty I needed to hear this

man I am constantly trying to push myself harder so I can continue gaining muscle! It’s hard when I don’t have access to progressively bigger weights and have to rely on more reps/sets and harder exercises to progress. There are still some basic body weight exercises that I find very difficult but a lot of kettlebell/dumbbell exercises take a while to get me to complete failure. I’m always wanting to work out but I usually wait until I have time to completely tire myself out with the equipment I own.

I always train to failure, there was this time I was going for 10 pull ups, and I kid you not going into the 10th one it took me 1 minute stuck at the half way point then dropped a bit, went for it again, and spent like 30secknds just about chin to the bar but I just didn't make it, I know I did absalotly more than I could've and I was happy with it but I pulled a muscell in my chest pretty badly

Learning how close to failure is difficult if you don't have a consistent setup. For example facepulls, i occasionally train on a machine, at other times with random band or on rings or even using weights lying down on a bench. Reason is i train at climbing gym and its based on what i have available. Hence velocity would be nice indicator.

Hey Sean and comment section, relatively amateur lifter here. I have a question regarding this. I always aim to get my sets to as close to failure as possible and usually get to this range, however after a 5 minute rest I feel I could get a few extra reps in. Should I go for these reps even if my previous 3 sets were to failure?

5 min is a lot of rest, unless you are maxing out. If you feel like you could do more after 5 min, you probably didn't train to failure, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. You said you are an amateur, so keep things simple and aim to slowly increase the load. You'll reach a point when even with 5 min rest you will not stand one more set.
