The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast

NOTE

Approach Failure, Not Embrace It

Maximize your strength training by stopping just shy of failure to optimize muscle growth. Monitor your lifting velocity; as fatigue sets in, your lifting speed will decrease. Effective training can include light weights with higher reps (up to around 30) or heavier weights with fewer reps (approximately six), but the key is to push close to the point of muscular fatigue without completely failing. This approach ensures that individuals, especially women who may prefer lighter weights, can still achieve effective training results while avoiding intimidation and confusion about workout techniques.
