Alright, so you’ve probably heard that you need to train to failure, or at least close to it in order to build muscle, but what exactly does that look like? Well first here’s an example of what that doesn’t look like. Notice how as the weight gets more difficult, I start to use momentum, and my reps get worse and worse and worse. This is exactly what you do not want to do. When your form breaks down and your technique loses control, you are no longer using the target muscle to lift the weight, all you’re doing is creating a ton of additional fatigue with no benefit, greatly increasing your risk of injury. So instead, always make sure that your form is your number 1 priority going into every single rep you perform. Stop aiming to hit a certain number of reps, and just take each one on its own making sure you are actively contracting your muscle to lift the weight. Remember, we are not just training to fail, we are training to force our muscle’s to fail, and the only thing that should prevent you from lifting that weight, is the fact that your muscle is incapable of producing any more force. As you reach this point, your reps will become slower and slower, getting more and more difficult, until eventually, no matter how hard you push, the weight just won’t budge. And that is when you’ve reached true muscular failure.
