Training closer to failure for muscle growth is largely speculative

The podcast episode discusses the speculative nature of training closer to failure for muscle growth. The hosts emphasize that there are still many unknowns and uncertainties regarding the optimal proximity to failure for hypertrophy. They suggest that while training closer to failure is a common recommendation, there may be other options to consider for maximizing muscle growth. The hosts caution that the podcast is largely speculative and that more research is needed to fully understand the impact of proximity to failure on muscle growth.
