Do you NEED to train to failure?

from LIFT Hosted by Harrison Thompson

In this episode, we tackle the age-old question: Should you train to failure? Harry breaks down the science behind failure training, its pros and cons, and the practical applications for beginners, intermediates, and advanced lifters. Learn how to optimize your workouts by balancing fatigue and stimulus, and why leaving one rep in reserve might be the secret to better gains. Plus, tips on when and how to incorporate failure training for maximum results. If you got value, do me a MASSIVE favour and subscribe to the LIFT podcast. We will never run ads here, so the only way this grows is through word of mouth. If you want help to drop 5kg in the next 6 weeks and start putting on muscle FAST using science, send me a DM on Instagram with the word 'GAMEPLAN,' and I'll send you some details.
