I fail every squat workout, and last week I failed at 425 after 7. I've failed on high reps (up to 75) for squats, and as low as one. why does everyone think it is so dangerous? if you keep your form, you will eventually fail. everyone erroneously assumes that as you get more tired, this...

Sounds logical, but does this really make sense? Verily, this would lead one to logically conclude that a set of 30 pound curls to failure (let's say, reached at 10 reps) is as productive as two sets of 30 pound curls, one to 5 reps, the other to 5. or perhaps, do one set of 30 pounders for one...

when have i reached my goal? when i can't put any more plates on the end of the barbell...still trying to reach that point.

I think i'm rare because I do train to failure. I rarely see people going to absolute failure now, for whatever reason. I don't buy into those who say it's dangerous, because I don't think it is dangerous. I wouldn't feel satisfied if I walked out and didn't put everything I had into my workout...

sets reps intensity (do you go to failure?)? need to know before answering question.

Couldn't figure out which section this post belonged in, so i put it in here because i want to ask about people in the magazines,albeit, not pros. i was looking for opinions (since i can only surmise on this subject) on those guys in magazine ads who look like shit, then turn out to be massive...

I'm getting intrigued now, because I've never not trained to failure. my strength is good for my size, but my size is pretty small (190 at 5'11). For those of you who don't train to failure, how close to failure do you come? If your goal is 10 reps, could you do 15, 12, 20, if you pushed it? thanks.

jay cutler once said (correct me if i've got this wrong) that he eats spaghetti before guest posing or a shoot to bring out veins.

I read a few years ago that studies were done and they concluded that front squats didn't hit the quads any more than back squats. the researchers hypothesized that people believe their quads are worked more with the former because of the increased strain on the cardiovascular system when front...

i started a squat to failure thread a little while ago, and the results from that got me thinking about another inquiry: how many sets do you guys typically do, with how many reps, and how often do you take those sets to failure? i know people on here are always writing what they do, but the...

ok, so i'm back from my leg workout. mind over matter today, 'cause i had a good workout. i expected to squat 5 or less reps with my working weight, just because of last night. well, i nailed ten reps, and failed on the 11th. pretty happy about that. i puked halfway through the workout, i guess...

Screw this. I have been reading around the board after posting this thread, and I'm getting too pumped up to lift to not go. if i fall on my face (squat day today) i'll take more time off, but i'm getting too antsy thinking about what a good workout i could have if i went right now. i'm off, and...

Now that's what i'm talking about. That is the attitude i like to hear. I remember reading nasser say how the weights make him angry when he looks at them, as if they're consciously trying to crush you. The thing i love about lifting is that you can never win in my opinion, you can always get...

So last night i go in for a chest workout, feeling good, refreshed. I look at my log book, and aim for one more rep on the incline hammer strength than last week. didn't get it. so next up is dumbbell bench. i couldn't even get the damn weight up that i expected to get 8 reps with. went down in...

not a whole lot you can do. hell, even pros with "perfect symmetry" have different looking bodyparts (ie look at Arnold's right bicep vs. his left one). some say use one arm movements, but not sure how the hell you could balance out a higher chest or ab...surgery maybe?
