Muscle Failure
Is it smart to train in a manner that leads to muscle failure? It can lead to muscle hypertrophy, but is it the best approach to strength training? Find out what research shows.
There are two types of muscle failure: mechanical failure and metabolic failure. Do you know the difference between the two? In this article, you’ll learn the difference, along with guidelines on whether you should train to muscle failure and how often.
Muscle failure or muscle fatigue? What’s the difference? This article looks at how muscle fatigue and failure differ and why you should train to failure only in moderation.
Muscles grow when you subject them to heavier loads than their accustomed to. One way to do this is by lifting to muscle failure. This technique is common among lifters trying to develop strength. Is it necessary to use this technique to maximize muscle growth? Find out what research shows.
