When things get hard at the gym that’s where all the growth happens. During those last few hard reps at the end.

The same is true in life.

And days where you reeeeeeaaaally don't feel like it at all

I like to make sure whatever muscle groups I’m focusing on during a workout isn’t able to complete a full rep. This lets me know I’ve done all I can physically.

Train to failure, in the gym and in life .

Sho nuff. Control the pace, conserve energy, and focus on the current rep, erm challenge.

This is my mantra when I’m at the range

So all this reps at beginning are just a waste?

They’re necessary because you couldn’t maintain your past growth or get to your new stage of growth without them. Your past is very important in shaping your future.

like saying all the steps up to the cliff edge are a waste.

you have to reach the limit to push beyond

why i love sprinkling in power hours for pushups and pulllups:

find a number of reps you can sustain on the minute every minute for 60 minutes.

it would be hard to find a workout that gets more of those ā€œhard but doableā€ reps in

On holiday, no gym for me. When I get back though it’s gonna be tough.

This guy says you can skip the reps and go straight to failure and get all the benefits.

More a fan of the Mike mentzer one set of heavy ass weight to failure style

You tried to get me to do that and I blew out my clencher

Yeah but your form is so bad lol

Last time I blew out my clencher I was removed from the gym. It was fucking embarrassing.
