How Often Should You Train To Failure

Показать описание

The question is simple how often should you train to failure. Should you train to failure on each set? Should you train to failure on just a few sets. Or should you train to failure one time a week. Today we go over it all.

I have with me special guest Brad Schoenfeld PhD. We will be doing all kinds of videos this week so please make sure you subscribe and hit that bell so you don't miss any.

Everytime someone doesn't go to failure Tom Platz cries

RIP John - I'm so sorry for your passing - the world has certainly lost an amazing generous guy !

How is this free? So much information!

I use failure to gauge progression, 3 sets 6-4-2 for strength and 12-10-8 for hypertrophy all to failure, always trying to increase weight or reps, if I stop a few reps short I call it a warm up until I get to the 3 sets, I find this works best for me, ive tried every routine over 35 years of training and wont leave the gym unless ive hit failure every time...

When I use lighter weights I always train to failure; if the weight is heavier I go to failure on the last set.

I strongly believe in going to failure and beyond, if you are trying to be the best you can be, not for recreational lifters. If you could get the same gains by leaving 3 reps in the tank I think that way more people would work out. I recently started training to failure and I exploded past my plateu

That's a good one for me, the fact that I ' m 65 years old . With joints issues. Thanks guys.

The #1 hypertrophy researcher in the world. With the least amount of hypertrophy.

The idea is to avoid overtraining and injuries. Make every rep count using mind-muscle connection and good form. That way, going to failure won't be necessary on each set. I stop couple reps before failure on each but the last set. Great information as always, John.

I take training volume into account with this too. Low volume (medium rep range) = more/closer to failure where high volume = further from failure.

Mr Meadows, just for the purposes of sharing information, I remember this from a book I read:

“A further study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise also established that one set of high-intensity resistance training was just as effective as three sets for increasing knee extension and knee flexion isometric torque as well as muscle thickness in previously untrained adults.

The bottom line is that a single set taken to a point of positive failure is a sufficient stimulus to trigger the growth and strength mechanism of the body into motion. Additional sets produce nothing but more time spent in the gym.”

You allways give us the best questions John !
Great work!

"absolutely perfect" very informative information that I'll always use wisely, thank you very much *John* for your expertise!!!

the 'taking just one set to failure' approach sounds like it is right in sync with routines from Wendler's 5-3-1, where the last set is ideally AMRAP. (I am doing this now, as I think the 'every set to failure' approach leads to overtraining, at least for me, as I am 55 years old...) SO far making quick strength gains in bench, would like to be benching 225 again ASAP!
