| Should You Train to Failure for Muscle and Strength? (Research Review) Posted: 29 Oct 2020 10:03 AM PDT What "training to failure" means There are two main types of failure training. In most studies, training to failure is referred to as absolute failure. This means you take sets to the point where you can't perform another repetition (23, 24). In comparison, technical failure means you can do more reps if you break your form (using momentum, etc.) Why Do People Train to Failure?
Is failure training the best way to maximize muscle and strength gains? Overall, the research shows that training close to failure results in similar gains in both muscle size and strength compared to training to absolute failure (18, 23, 26, 27, 41, 42, 44, 50, 65). The exception of low load training There is one potential exception: if you are training with very light loads (30-40 reps). In this case, you may want to train to failure, or very close to failure (23, 41). Excessive failure training can lead to

| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 03:04 AM PDT Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack. So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:
Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line. So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday? [link] [comments] |
| Why does working out stops overthinking/rumination? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 04:46 AM PDT Since I have started working out and I have noticed that all of my overthinking stops and I stay more in the present moment and not in the head.But when after sometime I stop working out I again get in the fantasy land/overthinking/negative thoughts.Why is that?

| Been awhile since I’ve gotten after it. Tips? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 05:13 AM PDT Hey guys n gals. I got back from deployment around July 2020 and during that deployment I was putting up my best numbers since we had a lot of time to workout. Got back and got into a slump and sadly haven't been getting it in like I should. Been busy with a rough training schedule. For someone who's been an advent weightlifter and hasn't touched a weight in a few months, where I should I start back up? Just looking for some tips because I don't want my ego destroying me in the gym thinking I can put up the same numbers I did months ago. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Trying to diagnose why I am regressing in Strength Posted: 30 Oct 2020 03:22 AM PDT required data: BW Log: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tdMrRhW2NPjcW7u-YOcsiikS0l5CG3k2aKVh-_5-Wbg/edit?usp=sharing m/25/138 lbs 63kg Program: PHUL but with weighted/unweighted calisthenics versions of all the compound exercises. Lower body is same as prescribed. Goal: to reach 69kg/152lbs by gaining around 1 kg/ 2.2 lbs a month. I have been doing weighted bodyweight movements at home and I was able to add more reps and sets for about two months before I felt like I needed to deload because my hip flexor felt strained and I reached my goal of 4x10 sets of 15kg dips 5x5 sets of 15 kg pullups 3x8 sets of ring dips So I thought backing off for a week on upper body and resting the hip flexor for two or three weeks would be a good idea. I even ate at maintenance for that time (week 10 on sheet) because I wouldn't feel too hungry and I read that's a good thing to do because of reduced workload. But since then I have not been able to beat my old goals stated above. In fact I just manage the 5x5 on the pullups and fall short on the dips. (10,10,9) on weighted dips and (8,6,6) on ring dips. Question to you is: Looking at my weight gain from the past 13 weeks any ideas as to why this is happening? wiki says to change things if youve been doing it for more than 6 months...I thought adding back weight to the movements would solve that problem. Do I need to eat more? I have a pretty good handle on controlling how much I eat and working out regularly with max effort. I've been getting 7 hours of sleep minimum although I'm not sure if its the best quality cause things are not going well in life right now but that's not something I can control. Just wondering if there is something I can do better. Thank you for taking the time to read this. [link] [comments] |
