Do adults need to lift heavy? A conversation with Mike Boyle.
from Athlete Enhancement
In this conversation with Mike Boyle...On December 29th, Mike Boyle put up a post that caused quite a ruckus. He said "I'm going to say it again, 5-10 reps done to failure is heavy enough. The risk of 1-5 is not worth the reward." While this statement does not seem to be all that controversial, the social media influencers of the world got riled up and stated to attack. I thought this created a terrific opportunity to discuss some important issues strength coaches face every day:- In what scenario do we need to lift to failure? - What does lifting to failure mean? - Do adults need to lift heavy?Mike is a brilliant strength coach with a world-class pragmatism. In this conversation, we dig into the weeds and actually explore the nuances of these critical questions instead of just throwing out attacks.
