Training To Failure ISN’T Complicated RIR | Dr. Mike Israetel RP 

I like this guy because he doesn't make you feel like a wimp or a pussy for not knowing or how to train to failure. I'm still having trouble and I just started and I've seen people ahead of me struggle too.

One of my favorite pastimes is watching Renaissance periodization leg day videos

I love listening to Mike. Straight forward and easy to understand

I thought I knew what failure was until I did a 50 rep rest pause squat set with 135 (max squat was only about 350 at the time). I collapsed just as I racked the bar and woke up to staff and gym members around me. I couldn’t stand up and my vision was completely grey and brown with spots and I had horrible chest pain. I had to go to the hospital for extreme exhaustion, hypertensive crisis and a mild heart arrhythmia. Couldn’t walk for a week. Thought I was dying. Great fun. Edit: I was also addicted to heroin at the time, so there’s that…

Actually I went to Spain and had some Spanish girls interested in me and I barely knew any of the language. They were also prostitutes but never let the truth get in the way of a good story

That whole interview is gold.

Nobody breaks down mind muscle connection like Dr Mike. A lot of these other guys just throw the term around I think because it’s popular but very few explain exactly what you should be feeling. Seth Feroce is probably the only other person I watch that stresses getting that connection.

Damn. 4 of them are already dead.

Well, Mike doesn't know how to train to failure so..

Mike real deal is a hero for this generation 👏🏼

Wow, I couldn't have said it better myself... and I'm a genius!!!!

Okay what he said at 7:01is exactly what I needed to hear.

I now understand something I've heard about for years but never saw for myself. A legitimate light bulb moment. Thank you.

Good stuff! Thank you.

So…. Failure? Not failure? I missed it. Lol

But the studies show you get muscle stimulus going up to 5 reps of failure.

Listen to it twice

4:08-4:10 Mike looks like a baby who wants our of the car seat lmfao. Love Mike, just busting his balls about being short. Irl Mike would get the joke so don't @ me bro

Listening to genuine experts in a field just makes me wonder more questions than answers they deliver. Super cool

algorithm

This is hands down the most helpful video I have ever watched for lifting

If you do 10 reps the same speed, it means the first 7 were useless cause you gave half effort...

❤

What an awesome conversation.

But somehow we got a complicated answer

I learned about elitefts from Jeff C. from Athlean X. I love the coaching feedback provided by elitefts for powerlifting.

If training to failure isn't that complicated, why can't Dr. Mike demonstrate it. I mean, he can make HOURS of video obfuscating what it is. But he can't do it. Every study shows bar speed slowdown at failure. Every one. There is no concentric cap and the muscles don't 'hit failure without hitting failure'. If bar speed didn't slow, you didn't hit failure. Every study shows this. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Or doesn't the science matter anymore? All he can do is talk in circles to bullshit people. And then spend an hour lying about me rather than just stepping up to me like a MAN would. Absolutely pathetic. Mike, get Dave to take you through a workout to true failure. Maybe you'll learn something. Or....just keep bs'ing people. It's what your best at.

Technique... Like you can get really strong for any period of time without correct technique.. who is this dwarf anyways?
