Does training to failure help or hinder gains?

What a stupid ass question

hinder because you risk injury for being a tryhard

Hinder. But going until you can't, feels so right. I don't leave the gym until I have a good pump and my muscles are totally vibrating. I'm actually addictied to the feeling of blood rushing to the areas I work. I wouldn't recommended stoping until failure for a newcomer though because your form might be off.

Just go to the last rep before the failure rep and you are good to go. Good for strength and Hyper

Alright, didnt mean to chad ya there, pimpin. High reps to failure is going to make you grow bigger. Low reps with high wieght will make you grow stronger. So it halps if your going for aesthetics.

From my research it appears to failure is quite taxing on the system and should be done sparingly.

That's nonsense. Nothing can't be good for hypertrophy but bad for strength.

if you are training for strength and keep going to failure you are going to stall really fast and be forced to take a week or two off to deload and recover

if can diddy at least 3pl8 or more try doing it with your 1RM weight every workout and tell us how it goes. in about a week if not even sooner all of your lifts will tank and you'll feel like shit

Overtraining is a real bitch

Can confirm

I switched back to strict programming with 5 reps and I started getting gainz again

Really? I had the opposite effect.

When I just did it for size, I didn't bother to over train. Size went up but my strength stalled. I then switched to working to failure, and I got to the point where I can keep going, increasing my weight as I went.

When my 1RM for bench was stalled at 225, I lowered the weight and increased the rep range so I can fail at 15 or so reps. The endurance allowed me to go back up to 225, and push out more reps at that weight, which then allowed me to exceed my 1RM to a higher weight.

Hinder, it reduces the amount of training volume you can accumulate

>not doing a couple of forced reps / slow negatives at the end of your last set

[ ] making it
[x] not making it
