I feel like most bodybuilders give us the wrong information but Sean always provides and gives us the right information !!

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
While it's true that every aspect of one's training program needs to be properly dialed in for optimal results, I'd still consider intensity/effort (whatever you want to call it) to be in its own unique class and deserving of special attention.
Reason being that it's by far the hardest aspect to actually implement in practice and is the most likely limiting factor (on average) that holds people back from maximizing their results.
It's not that hard to figure out, for example, that a hack squat is a pretty good exercise for training the quads.
It's also not that hard to perform the movement using technique that is at least half way decent.
It's also not hard to throw together some basic set/rep/volume/frequency scheme that would at least be sufficient to produce consistent progress.
It's an entirely different thing, however, to actually get into the machine, unrack the weight and rep out a maximum effort set all the way to true muscular failure (or close to it).
The other aspects of the program are mostly "on paper" things that - while you may not have them optimally configured - are still pretty hard to screw up so badly that you'd legitimately kill your gains.
However, the intensity aspect is the one that involves the real physical/mental discomfort (and often pretty high degrees of it depending on the movement) to where many people genuinely do train so many reps away from failure that their progress is severely impeded just from that alone.
So yes, it all matters (exercise selection, technique, progression, volume, frequency etc.), but effort is the most challenging piece of the puzzle when it all comes down to it, and in my view the basic ability to train hard is the most valuable skill in any lifter's arsenal.

You can't just reference Arnie in fitness context without using the "coming" quote.

That's why basketball coaches have their players practice free throws at the end of practice when they are tired. During a close game, most fouls will be called toward the end.

I can relate i do feel like I came, Arnold speaks the truth🗣️

Those last few reps are the best. You walk away from the bench or machine ready to faint... and then your repeat it on the next set.

Latest research (see Schoenfeld): For max gains, coming within one or two reps before failure is no different to actual failure. Preferable because less chance of injury and gains are the same. You still have to feel a high degree of discomfort though.

That was a really great and simple explanation of pushing to failure.

Arnold ain't lying I feel that weird discomfort and satisfaction while doing lateral raises
Bobbbi
Big Facts. Intensity has been everything for me lately.
kumokingtv
This is the true no bs fitness content from Sean that I'm subbed for.
abhisardahiya
is it bad to have too much failure? 2 set each exercise?
bksmd
“Even 50 years ago Arnold was saying the same thing” I thought Sean was making an old ppl joke till I realized he was right, Arnold’s up there in age 😞
coldestbarber
I can relate. Those last few reps are everything and satisfying. It's also applies to your performance in the gym as well.

Everyone that lifts weights and is reading my comment, I want you to remember in those final painful reps that discomfort is how you grow, and thats what makes you stronger. Fall in love with that pain and push through it everytime you workout. The results with motivate you to keep going!!
