@hubermanlab: Do you need to weight train to failure to get results? The Huberman Lab episode out now is with Dr. Layne Norton (@biolayne). It covers what the peer-reviewed research says about exercise of all kinds, nutrition, supplementation, and health. Here, we are discussing if resistance training needs to be done “to failure” — the inability to further move the resistance in good form for that set. It turns out the answer is relevant if you are seeking hypertrophy and/or strength. Keep in mind that resistance training has been recommended by numerous guests on the podcast for both women and men, regardless of whether you’re seeking hypertrophy or simply strength increases. In fact, resistance training is turning out to be one of the best ways to improve your immediate and long-term health and longevity per se. #hubermanlab #andrewhuberman #laynenorton #weightlifting #exercise #Fitness #science #hypertrophy
Just lift. Then lift again. Then have a rest. Then lift again.

My problem is gauging how close I am to failure without actually reaching failure. So a safer bet for me is to try to reach failure just to be sure

Doesn’t depend on what effectiveness is? A gymnast wouldn’t train to failure, but a bodybuilder would

I want to see the peer reviewed studies on this before I believe it.

Dr. Mike agrees that getting to 3 RIR (reps in reserve) is more effective than going to absolute failure as well

Layne Norton has always backed up his knowledge with facts and studies. I learned how to squat correctly because of him and learned about occlusion training from him as well.

For max hypertrophy you need to go above failure: dropsets and partials

Interesting. Close to failure seems hard since you don’t really know how much more you had if you stop early

Firas Zahabi has been saying this for years. Volume over intensity.
