Lifting close to failure builds muscle faster
Step 1: If you're a beginner, acknowledge that this is a new sensation. Your brain initially screams "stop" but it learns over time that the sensation is beneficial.
Step 2: Complete enough reps where your last 3 reps feel 8/10 "hard" ...
-feeling an intense burn
-rep is slowing down and you don't feel like you can do another one with safe/good form
-grimace/grunting occurs
nails this type of intensity!
Step 3: Choose a heavy enough weight where you can achieve 10 to 20 repetitions that fulfill the above conditions
Step 4: Indicator that you are lifting close to failure means you'll have to rest at least a minute before safely starting your next set.
Have you been lifting close to failure or is this a new concept for you? What tips do you need or can you share?
