Training to Failure: Smart or Risky? 🤔
The reasoning behind training to failure is grounded in the principle of maximizing muscle fiber recruitment and mechanical tension, which are key drivers of hypertrophy.
✅ Training to Failure Can Maximize Muscle Fiber Recruitment
❎ Increased Risk of Overtraining and Fatigue

Today I went pretty hard on Chest / Shoulders taking into consideration what I have learned from renaissance #periodization I just started taking #Creatine 3d ago, strictly #wfpb I did drop set bench press taking each 10 pound tier to failure and resting 1 min between sets until I was completely gassed and could not do 30 pounds (total muscle group fatigue). I did the same with arms yesterday and got an extreme pump. My biceps heads are only a tad sore today.

One more tidbit: early imperial emperors seem to be known primarily by their posthumous names: Wendi, Wudi, etc.; mid-imperial ones by their temple names: Taizong, Huizong, etc.; late imperial ones by their era names: Yongle, Kangxi, etc.Not sure why #periodisation #periodization
“…we still do not know enough about most of the antiquities either; … only future archaeologists may be able to decide, but they will never be able to do so if they do not observe what things are found together and our collections are not brought to a greater degree of perfection.”
– Christian Jürgensen Thomsen, (1822)
