Exercise

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.
