Failure Training
This has been a hot topic (for me at least) lately. I would be curious on some of your opinions on the subject.
What is "failure" in terms of resistance training?
What are the benefits?
What are the negatives?
Do the benefits of failure training outweigh the negatives?
Why do some strength coaches recommend it while others avoid it?
I would be curious to see what you guys think. I will post my opinion later [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

"The truth I’ve discovered is that you don’t have to lift enormous weights to grow muscle. By using stricter form, slower negatives, and stretching between sets you can get an incredible pump in all your workouts. Numbers are an abstraction, especially to muscles. Your body doesn’t know the absolute weight of what you lift, it only recognizes how heavy it feels. The secret is to make lighter weights feel heavier. " - Frank Zane
"Sacrifice: To give up, destroy, renounce, and surrender your ego, excuses, bad habits, fears, and your couch - in the belief of an ideal or pursuit of a worthy goal."
"All thing are possible to him who believes." -Mark 9:23
