    I think Austin makes a good point about using RPE 10 for fun. The majority of gym-goers do not compete, but will still gain satisfaction from setting PR's and challenging themselves to be stronger. For those less concerned about bodybuilding this may even be the primary motivation for going to the gym. Compliance with any program is going to be best when the user finds it enjoyable, and for some people going to failure semi-regularly is going to be most enjoyable. It might not be the most efficient training stress, but it's almost certainly better than the person quitting the program and going full-bro because they weren't having fun any more.
    I have to disagree with Jordan regarding calibrating the RPE scale by going to failure. If someone has never truly pushed themselves to failure then they may well be gauging an rpe 8 as and rpe 10. If you program rpe 8 and they end up doing their work sets at an actual rpe 6 then I don't see how you can argue that that isn't a problem.

      @ericdaniel323 3 года назад +2

      I agree, but I think it's a good point that precision is more important than accuracy though. Even if you are at RPE 6 instead of 8, if you are adding weight your RPE 6 is getting stronger, so your RPE 8 is as well. However, to get the intended training response of a set @8, you need to know what it feels like to do a set @8. The only way I learned what 8 felt like was that it was a little easier than 9, and that was a little easier than 10, and I had to miss a few times to really know where 10 was.

    So essentially all the people that don' t claim to know exerything and so much more than everyone else agree on this smart approach.
    Jeff Nippard, Brad Schoenfeld, Mike Israetel. Some of those experts periodize failure on purpose before a deload while others skip deloads and stay within the RPE range mentioned. Not to mention all the coaches and athletes who consider recovery being limited therefore implying to think about what allows them to minimize fatigue while nearly maximizing stimulus.

      @@Tinkerbell0320 The more frustrating thing is reading someone saying that "harder than last time" means "go hard or go home". It's totally not what he's saying. Since his advices are catered towards newbies, as intermediates and advanced lifters already know this kind of basic thing, he tells them to not go to the gym and go with the motions. They should put effort. And no, he's not telling them to go to failure. He tells them to train seriously and not with the same weight/intensity/repetitions every time, but progressively overload. "Harder than last time" means progressive overload + training seriously.

    Let's see how many "but you're not training hard" responses arrive. Funny thing is RPE 10 on a regular basis with the same 'loads' is contradictory and an impossibility. How many people can consistently do deadlift, squat, press, or bench sets to failure without actually facing pain experiences or significant performance setback? How many people actually do this and still endorse the macho masochism?
    RPE 10 is a religious experience. With just a bit of thinking, one would realize that the dunning Kruger sheep who pride themselves on feeling like they work harder than everyone else may not even practice what they preach.

    5x5, 3x5, 3x8, 5x3 on most compounds. If I can't hit the prescribed reps I'll lower the weight 10 percent and finish the sets.
    Failure training works but there's a price to pay. I started to absolutely dread my workouts training in this fashion. To the point of my body just shut down. Needed to take some time off.
    Now I'm doing more sets across. Like I said if I can't hit the 3, 5 or 8th rep I don't keep grinding. I'll just lower the weight and try again next time.

    Training to failure in compound exercises should never be done on a regular basis. Maybe to test things out here and there, but certainly not in every workout. The risk of injury is way too high, and the extra stimulus you might get from it is marginal.

    i trained heavy and to failure every workout time after time for quite few years after 1991 when I started lifting weights. Been there. Done that. Bought all the T-Shirts. But what is the point of getting stronger? Eventually you find getting stronger doesn't matter past a certain point. Now I do strength training more with bands and bodyweight but find a lot more fun, meaning, and mobility in sports.
    What weightlifters for size repeatedly fail to understand is that training your body to lift weights is totally detrimental to mobility and speed. Anyone who has had a hard sparring session with a boxer or kickboxer trying to punch them in face is not so deluded! Sure, size and strength help in some sports some of the time -- but the cost to speed, endurance, and mobility is rarely worth it for those who prioritize performance.

      @Rodrigo Neves Hermida all due respect, he's neither a Phd nor a Doctor. But would he really say to do RPE 10 (imagine the baraki exertion scale) on the daily? Is that even possible? Sometimes you just have to wonder how much nonsense he is willing to put out to target the average person who may or may not be so cognitively destitute as embracing 'harder' as the only necessary training recommendation. For example, no one needs to tell people to discard the entire nutrition research industry to tell obese people 'just eat less,' (and even that can be extrapolated to mean anything, so you have to wonder whether people who benefit from reductionism would've benefited regardless of the utter lack of information that 5-phrase mottos offer).

      But if you go to the Mike Israetel Greg podcast on Omar Isuf's channel you can see Greg say that he coaches people for powerlifting by making them take deadlift sets to failure in higher reps and just decrease the reps and increase the weight as they approach meet week (which is super suboptimal and more likely to cause pain), but then again he's a special breed and I'd imagine people who gravitate to him for coaching at the elite level are as well.
      Yesterday's deadlift tutorial video from Greg he also said that he wears straps so he can train to failure and he said you should go to failure and use his 10% rule (which to this day we have no basis for both in evidence/rationale, and to what populations this is a good idea). He said people who hold back a few reps are 'scared to train hard' (in refernce to deadlifts). He also said that mixed grip causes 'problems' and 'imbalances.'
      That's what I dislike about Greg despite admiring him for a generally good information (imo) he puts out. He blurts out stuff that isn't based in evidence OR logic in an attempt to pander to the biggest noobs in the gym who happen to embrace reductionism and masochism (who comprise his viewership it seems).
