Training to Failure: Exploring Training Intensity

Should you be training to failure every time? That’s a common question we get. Today we are going to unpack this topic. First and foremost, there are very rare circumstances where you should be training to failure. We discuss what those circumstances are, what the research shows, and why training to failure can potentially be a slippery slope towards overtraining. We also talk about the importance of understanding how intensity affects workout effectiveness and muscle growth. We discuss the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) and how to incorporate it into your training to find the goldilocks recipe for getting the best results without overdoing it.  

This episode is important to listen to if you’re trying to fine-tune the intensity of your workouts, or you just want to learn more about the topic.
