Should you train to failure?
If you spend any time in the gym or in bodybuilding forums, you have probably come across a number of terms which were initially unfamiliar to you. Often people will throw around these terms casually without really knowing what they mean.
Instead of just throwing around such terms to sound impressive in the gym, shouldn't you take a moment to truly understand them? Because it's discussed so often, let's take a moment to understand the concept of training to failure.
Are you still wondering what training to failure your exactly means? Well, you shouldn't feel too bad because you're probably not the only one who has asked this question before. The truth is that most new trainees probably don't understand these bodybuilding terms, but they pretend to just to fit in.
To put it simply, training to failure means that you lift a particular weight until you simply cannot lift any more. Your muscle gives out and you cannot lift another repetition by yourself. This, by the way has been promoted by many different so called bodybuilding gurus.
Expert fitness trainer Vincent Delmonte tells us that training to momentary failure is important, but training to absolute failure is dangerous (or at least unnecessary).
The one thing you don't want to do is to completely exhaust your body. You don't want to train and train until your body is wiped out from fatigue. It may sound obvious to some, but from observing some people in the gym it's more common than you might think. They seem to have a completely different interpretation of training to failure.
Working out in this way not only puts a heavy stress on your muscles, but your entire body will feel the effects. Remember that your nervous system, for example, is also feeling the impact and can actually take longer to recover.
You'll probably find yourself overdoing it from time to time, but be careful not to make this a habit. - 17273
