Effective Muscle Growth Techniques

A recent study examined the most effective methods for muscle growth through resistance training, comparing training to failure versus leaving repetitions in reserve. In the trial, trained lifters worked one leg to failure while training the other with one or two repetitions left. Results showed almost identical muscle growth in both legs, highlighting that fatigue can be achieved through either method. This provides evidence that it is not strictly necessary to train to failure to build muscle effectively, countering common beliefs in the fitness community.
