Today, we’re exploring you should always train to muscle failure and if not, how often should you?

I discuss what the evidence says, effective reps theory, cluster sets, RIR, RPE, what true failure actually is, and how this can all benefit your own training, as well as going into how I work with my clients on all of this to help their strength increase continuously.

As always any questions let me know, and happy lifting!
