Building Muscle - Hypertrophy
Does Training to Failure Maximize Muscle Hypertrophy?
- Similar hypertrophy is seen when stopping 1-2 reps short of failure as compared to going to failure
- Going all the way to failure requires an added 1-2 days of recovery time
- This is with weighted exercises. For body weight workouts going to failure is still better.
- Similarly, for machines that isolate a single muscle, failure is better.
