Poll _How often do you train to failure??

[heavy_duty]

I could not do another rep if you had a knife at my throat.
that is my failure. after that I dont need another set.

 

[galaxy]

usually wide grip pulldowns, close grip, some kind of row and then super set straigh arm pulldowns with db shrugs.

3 or 4 things for chest

1 or 2 for shoulders

3 for biceps

3 for legs, sometimes ill throw in hacks


usually 2 things for tris

really?
shit you must do 8 sets , i dont understand that workout at ALL, how can you increase each week?

 

[galaxy]

im sorry , i fucked that up. I do 3 or 4 sets per excersize and 3 or 4 excersizes per bodypart. Last set of each excersize is to failure. No with squats i will just do warm up sets until i get to my main work set. Same for behind the neck, and bench. Everything else i do is sets of 8 and pyramid up in weight until my last set. I do back/bis on mon, chest/should/tris on wed and legs on fri.

Last workset for each bodypart is usually close.

training to failure on every set is a good way to spin your wheels imo

I call Bullshit on 50+ percent of you always training to failure

LOL! I agree! lol! I get lazy on somedays that is why I will only claim half the time.

 

[sweatandscience]

In everything I do, I go until I fail. Then I quit.

It's my secret to success.

Seriously, though. I have traditionaly done every set until failure with the exception of the warm up set. After reading this thread, I am reconsidering that.

Well, it's good to switch it up every now and then. Keep them muscles guessing.
