What ACTUALLY causes you to hit FAILURE in a set....
Dec 8, 2023
Exploring the concept of failure in workout sets and understanding the different fatigue mechanisms during exercise. Discussing the significance of controlled and slow eccentric lowering in weightlifting and the importance of grasping fundamental concepts in muscle physiology and hypertrophy. Debunking misconceptions about failure and different types of failure during a set, emphasizing the impact of task failure. Exploring the benefits of standardizing movements, isometric and eccentric exercises, and cautioning against back-to-back tasks to failure.
