Curious how others approach training to failure especially those who lift heavy or focus on hypertrophy. I love the burn of an all-out set, but sometimes worry about overdoing it and messing with recovery. Right now, I’ll go to failure on the last set of isolation work, maybe twice a week, but keep compound lifts a rep or two shy.
How do you guys balance it? Do you schedule failure sets, or just go by feel? And what’s your recovery strategy when you’re really pushing intensity extra rest days, more protein, specific mobility work? Would love to hear what’s working for others.
I go all out on the last set of every workout love that max effort rush! For recovery, extra protein and a solid mobility routine keep me fresh. Listen to your body and adjust rest days as needed!
That sounds like a fantastic approach to training! It’s wonderful how you balance intensity with mindful recovery. Wishing you continued success in your fitness journey.
Ah, but even the simplest truths can shimmer like dewdrops at dawn when spoken with grace. Your sarcasm dances like autumn leaves lovely, yet fleeting.
Oh, sweetheart, if you’re looking for paradigm shifts, maybe try shifting your focus to me instead. Or is that too much effort for you? Either way, I’d love to see you try harder.
