Introduction

This video discusses the speaker's revised opinion on training to failure, based on recent fitness science research. The speaker initially believed training to failure was optimal but now recommends training close to failure, and occasionally to failure, while prioritizing training volume. The change is driven by a commitment to objective evaluation and the recognition that many lifters don't fully understand the sensation of training to failure.

Key Takeaways

• Training to failure is not always necessary: While past beliefs and some studies suggested training to failure was best, recent research indicates training close to failure is often equally effective.
• Prioritize training volume: The speaker consistently emphasizes the importance of training volume.
• Understand "training to failure": The speaker highlights the importance of truly understanding what training to failure feels like to effectively manage training close to failure.
• Updated recommendation: The updated recommendation incorporates training volume, training close to failure, and periodic training to failure to better understand the limits and sensations involved.
• Safe and controlled failure: The speaker stresses the importance of maintaining proper technique and avoiding pushing beyond the point where form breaks down.
