@seannalewanyj: Don’t just think of volume as “total sets”. Think of it more in terms of high effort reps. As you approach failure, each rep carries more stimulus than the ones before it. That’s why fewer sets pushed very close to the limit can match or exceed the “volume” of more sets with several reps left in the tank. P.S. If you want to learn exactly how to put this into action and start making better gains with less time in the gym, my complete TrainWise system gives you everything you need. Inside the app you get: - Structured low volume high intensity programs (2-4 days per week, works for beginners to advanced) - Step-by-step progression for consistent strength gains - Simple nutrition targets (no extreme diets or restrictions) - Workout tracking, exercise tutorials, and 150+ recipes all in one place - Adaptable to any equipment (full gym or basic home setup) The same evidence-based system that’s helped thousands of people achieve their goal physique with maximum efficiency. 👉 Link in bio #Fitness #workout #gym #bodybuilding

All roads lead to Mike mentzer

Woodland RX-0078 :

low-key scared to go till failure because I can't tell if I'm about to hit failure or an injury

lowkeyamidgettho :

so basically just go for faliure

Mike_H 🇨🇦 :

I get he was on a lot of gear, but Jay Cutler did 3 sets per exercise 8-12 reps never to failure

Vidar Francke :

High intensity, low volume

Radoslav :

2 sets to failure and 2 excercises 💪

Anth Rogan :

PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD

BenjaminSzady :

2x to failure is all you need bruh

Micah :

I’m a low volume guy who trains close to failure each set. 2 exercises per body part each with 2 sets.

nouwdvud53 :

2 sets to failure or RIR 1?

Teacher Mike English :

Yeah most of my life I've done 3 sets per exercise and not realized that most people keep 1 RIR when doing that. 😅 Recently dropped all my lifts to 2 sets instead of 3 and am seeing better results.

Seake :

I’ve never seen better results until I switched to 1 warm up set and 2 sets to failure🙏

charly :

when i switched from 3xfailure to 2xfailure my lifts BLEW up

Babamunky :

Funnily enough my leg day is incline bench and pec dec.

Johan :

I go to failure every set

Trevor :

“Congratulations you achieved failure. Failure has been achieved, thank god!” -Tom Platz

Chuck :

100% - I went from high sets and junk volume to absolute failure on small volume and results went through the roof

Afzal :

thatmanls :

I’m scared of doing this for preacher curls

Haakon Niklas :

Rosev :

For chest I only do 3 exercises. Incline smith machine for warm up. Incline DB press and pec deck for working sets. Pushing to failure. I’ve seen real growth. I’m at 90-95 for DB’s and 225 on incline bench.

Hugh Mungus Grant :

Isn't the big factor diminishing effective reps through form failure?

anakberbaktipadaortu :

1 set dips 2 sets chest press 2 sets incline chest press. how is it?
