Admit it, you're a failure.
I just get fatigued from time to time
Admit it, you're a failure.
Going to momentary muscular fatigue doesn't necessarily mean you can't complete the rep however, you would know that attempting another rep beyond that last one would not be possible.
Don't call that to failure, as you completed the last rep you did, it's only failure if you FAIL to complete it.
I am in the Wendler/Carter camp. Sub-max training.
Carter goes to concentric failure and misses reps all the time
He spouts bullshit on how you should train, doesn't get stronger and calls it base building then doesn't follow his own advice
No not really because you still don't have a rep left in the tank
But it's obvious that our interpretation of the meaning is different
?.... but won't miss reps
Like Big Mick I leave a rep in the tank. Failing only leads to more failure.
Its not the only way to work out.
I don't give a rats ass what other people do or don't do. I know what works for me and submax training is working awesome. I follow Carter's Blog, mostly cause I think he is kinda funny, and don't see too many failed sets. His real work are some big ass back off sets.
Like Big Mick I leave a rep in the tank. Failing only leads to more failure.
Its not the only way to work out. I also had good success with Westside for Skinny Bastards, going to failure all the time, but I was suffering a lot of unnecessary injuries.
After working out both ways, I find sub max training to be very effective.
He is always posting "half reps" in his training log lol.
I don't give a fuck if what you're doing works for you, I wasn't even talking about you
Then why bother to reply?
I replied to the thread, which asked what I did, and then you jump in and want to argue Semantics of what Wendler or Carter do. In the programs they design and sell, they advocate sub max training, that is what I do.
I don't see why you feel the need to try and argue over meaningless crap. I guess somehow 7000+ posts, mostly trolling btw, on a meaningless forum gives you some sense of accomplishment. Pretty sad really.
If ones reaches total *fatigue in one set (work set) is there really any point doing two?
*this is to a point where you are unable to move the weight on your own, and to then push for a further rep.
I mean, if you have completely exhausted your muscles strength rested long enough to replenish 90% is it of any value from a muscle building pov?
Is it failure or the time under tension or is it time under tension AND to failure that will make you grow?
Failure;
It's controversial, there is no evidence to support either, there is no way of measuring the point where muscle receives the right amount of stimulus to grow, in a set of 1 to 10, 10 being the point where you can no longer lift, is the 8th rep?, is it the 9th?
Going to the point of failure ensures you have done everything possible to permit growth, to stimulate growth.
There is one group that says training to failure, teaches failure.
if training your athletes to muscular failure is teaching them to fail then perhaps stopping your athletes short of muscle fatigue is teaching them to quit.
Time under tension is a method of performing reps under time rather than counting reps, most trainees can perform an exercise in 90 seconds using a 2/4 second cadence.
If you stop short of 90, the weight is too heavy, if you can perform the exercise past 90, it's too light, and weight needs to be added.
