The Difference Between Lifting to Failure vs Work Capacity for Building Muscle

from The Red Delta Project Podcast Hosted by Matt Schifferle

Research has shown that pushing your sets to, or close to, failure is one of the strongest drivers for muscle growth. However, lifting or failure is a bit too vague and subjective than “challenging your work capacity” which is much more simple and direct for creating a stimulus for building muscle. It also helps you recognize which exercises are going to be the best for helping you build muscle.
