Episode notes
Failure Training Plateau
- Sal DiStefano recalls his early experiences with failure training, noting rapid initial gains followed by plateaus and increased risk of injury.
- This led him to explore how to incorporate failure training effectively while mitigating its drawbacks.

- This approach maximizes the benefits of both methods while minimizing their respective drawbacks.
