I have heard you explain many things before, but this was the best explanation of what true muscle failure should look and sound like. I was always worried that I might be doing something wrong (grunting, swearing :) all those noises!) turns out, Im on the right track! Thank you so much for breaking it down so simply.
I came here after watching a “rant” about your fructose video on another channel... I was expecting the worst... but this video is spot on! 👍🏼 Now go eat some fruit! Lol
Lol it's really funny because the video that he actually used as a reference was a snippet of a larger discussion. I made a follow up video about it and posted it on Instagram. Thanks for the compliment by the way! :)
The Sculpted Vegan well that explains it! He mentioned it was sent to him by a client or something so I figured it was something somebody fished up just to get him riled up
This is what I needed to hear..I recently found out i have a hernia..I lift heavy or walk /stand too long and my hernia sticks out..I want to lift heavier but always think about my situation and bAck off..love the info...#veganlove
Hi there, Great question! The practice of performing 2 sets of 10-12 reps before doing a set to failure is a method to properly warm up the muscles and prepare them for the intensity of a failure set. By doing the initial sets, you're effectively priming your muscles and nervous system for the work ahead. This helps to improve the quality of your set to failure, potentially leading to better muscle engagement and less risk of injury. The failure set is essentially a high-intensity effort that aims to recruit as many muscle fibers as possible, encouraging muscle growth and strength gains. But going straight to failure without proper warm-up sets could potentially be risky, especially if the muscles are not adequately prepared for such intense work. The structure also allows you to maintain better form and control during the failure set since you've already practiced the movement in the initial sets. Hope this helps clarify the purpose behind this structure! Feel free to ask more if you have further questions.
The clip at 2:11 is pure muscle building gold. If a person doesn't know that sound, doesn't know that face, doesn't know that feeling; then they won't build the type of physique and life changing muscle that they could be building
Hey! There are many other leg exercises that can be easier on the knees, such as leg presses, step-ups, or lunges. Form check is also important. Incorrect form can often be the culprit behind knee pain. Consider hiring a qualified trainer for a session to evaluate your squat form. Footwear too, make sure you're wearing supportive shoes that provide good stability and cushioning.
This is the best explanation of muscle failure I have ever heard. I was the same way I thought if it said 10 reps I was done.
Thank you so much!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon! Thanks a lot.
Love this - thank you! Can I ask what the point is of doing 2 sets of 10-12 reps then one of failure, instead of just doing one long one to failure?

Squats kill my knees eventually. Amy suggestions?

i train alone so its so hard to go to this level.
It is hard - but it is important to push yourself to failure as much as you can!
Mark is the man !
