A short YouTube fitness/talk excerpt ("Train To Success") where the speaker argues that while a set taken to failure may stimulate more hypertrophy for that set, training to failure undermines subsequent sets and total training volume across a session/week/month. The speaker criticizes repeatedly practicing failure and advocates "training to success" instead.
If you train to failure, that set will stimulate more hypertrophy than if you don't train to failure in that set. But we don't care about that set. What we care about is the overall effect of the training session and then the training week and then the training month. So the problem and the thing they're not talking about in the research is when you train to failure on that set, the next set is destroyed. You can't do even the same thing again. Even just the word of training to failure is you're practicing failure, failure, failure. Maybe we just train to success. Train to success 100%.
