Training Intensity and Muscular Failure
One of the primary mistakes in muscle building is the lack of training intensity. Many people focus on their training programs without understanding how to train for muscle growth. The intensity of the workout, particularly the degree of pushing toward muscular failure, is crucial for optimal muscle growth. It is often challenging for beginners to grasp the concept of intensity, with many training far from muscular failure. To enhance muscle growth, individuals are advised to train near muscular failure by adjusting rep ranges and rest periods to maximize intensity.
