I'm convinced my personal trainer hates me. The days I walk in and he says "ready to fail?" My fight or flight response kicks in lmfao

[washnwax]

So true. When I first started training I had no idea what failure even was.

“The discomfort you feel is irrelevant.”

[matthewhendy]

So true! It’s YOU that gives up, not your muscles!

[bigburrito]

another underrated element of training to failure is the mental aspect. succeeding in training heavy and working to your failure point in a controlled and accurate way gives a feeling of confidence and content that doesn't really appear in many other instances in life too often.

The editing, paired with the informational value makes this channel one of the best out there in the fitness industry

Sean you are FANTASTIC. I have been a personal trainer for 15 years and agree with you 110%. Trainees rarely train at the intensity required for optimum results - especially intermediate people.

I realized that going to failure on dumbell presses and curls is easier than some other exercises like Barbell Rows or Lateral Raises so make sure you put more effort on those.

I always tell my clients “failure occurs in the body, not the mind.”

[michaelholt]

When I joined the Army in 1998. This was one of the first lessons on working out. Many people wanted to do push-ups until it started hurting and then quit. That don't fly in basic training and so the drill sergeants would push people until failure.

As they liked to say "Pain is not failure and the body can take 10 times more pain than the brain thinks it can. The thing I liked best about the Army was it taught me that what I thought were my limits were actually just the beginning.

Been training to failure only recently and huge strength gains have already come seemingly overnight

[Eagle-Striker]

I could never imagine NOT training to failure. Too many people fear the failure point. 
Take it to the limit (while watching your form).

[SeanNalewanyjShorts]

You don’t need to train to failure in the absolute sense to stimulate muscle growth...

But you DO need to train to failure in order to learn what a maximum effort set truly looks and feels like so that you can then gauge your true proximity to failure moving forward.

A lot of people think they lift intensely, but in reality the average trainee’s version of “failure” is nowhere near the real thing.

In fact, in a lot of cases if you tell a beginner to “go to failure” they’ll barely even end up in the effective rep zone at all, particularly on bigger compound lifts, and especially for lower body.

All the major aspects of a muscle building program are obviously important to nail down (exercise selection, lifting technique, volume/frequency, nutrition etc.), but learning to tolerate the discomfort of genuinely hard training is easily the most crucial make-or-break skill novice lifters must cultivate.

Training sufficiently close to failure (around 0-2 reps in reserve) is the underlying stimulus that triggers the entire muscle building process from the ground up, and without that, nothing else that you do in or out of the gym is going to matter.

Keep that at the forefront of your mind every time you unrack the weight.

We all have that one friend that eats to failure and definetly sees some gains

[buhbird]

i only recently discovered what true muscular failure feels like and holy shit it is draining

[SYNIKAL]

Counting my reps is where I was limiting myself when I first started.
“4 sets for 15 reps with weight you can control” was something I got way to comfortable with.
I was mentally limiting myself, when in reality I had a lot more to give.
Super amateur move, I know. I’m better now.

[C.J_the_Goat]

Failure is so interesting to me. That point when despite your best efforts, your arm won't move. Weird but oh so satisfying at the same time.

[mitchschneider]

True! Also, if I don’t get that one last rep in, I can be a little hard on myself. My concern at times is potential injury

[kryptoniterazor]

"the discomfort that you feel is irrelevant" sounds like a few bosses i've had
