Should you train to failure?
Manage episode 314573961 series 2611410
As we approach muscular failure, muscle fibre recruitment goes up. This stimulates the motor units that contain the majority of the large, highly-responsive fibres to grow. So in simple terms, the idea is that the last 5ish reps before failure are “stimulatory reps” because they involve both full motor unit recruitment and a high level of tension.
But recent research indicates training to failure is not necessary. So should you train to failure? Are 'effective reps' a crock of shit?
Listen in and I'll give you my take.
