How to Train to Failure With Light Loads

With lighter loads getting full motor unit recruitment is going to take you need to get to test failure. So with a light load you can start off and you can apply a low degree of effort in the bar still moves. And it's not until there's fatigue mechanisms in place to where you have to make a choice to continue to set by applying a high degree of voluntary effort. You don't get into that, that maximal full motor units recruitment until you get to to failure or very close to task failure. With heavier loading you're getting that maximal motor unit recruitment right out of the gate so it's better than training to failure.
