Effective Reps: Does Training To Failure Matter For Muscle Growth?

Effective Reps: Does Training To Failure Matter For Muscle Growth? | Science Explained [YKU7EGJdD]

Get the MASS Research Review: http://bit.ly/jeffMASS The “effective reps” theory is the idea that the closer a rep is to failure, the more “effective” it is at building muscle. The concept has been around for ages, but was refined by Borge Fagerli, formalized by Carl Juneau and expanded on by many others including Dr. Mike Israetel and the reviewers at MASS. In this video, we look at the research on training to failure and evaluate the “effective reps” concept in practical terms: how often should we train to failure? Are all reps created equal? What reps are more hypertrophic? Does it depend on the exercise?
