Should you train to failure to build muscle?

I was reading an article, again by Doctor Brad Schoenfeld on whether training to failure was necessary to maximize muscle hypertrophy or muscle growth.

Now I have always been a big fan of training to failure. But I really should clarify what I mean because I seldom actually train to absolute failure. I look at this two ways, one is doing my repetitions until I feel I can’t do one more rep which actually isn’t failure it is the rep before failure. Or two I go to technical failure which is where I stop when I can no longer perform another rep with good form and here I sometimes find myself going one rep too far and stop after doing a rep with less than perfect form.

Technical failure is recommended on any of the big heavy compound lifts where poor form could lead to injury. One thing we do know for sure is that no muscle is being built while we are sitting at home injured.

The theory behind training to failure is that It is the best way to bring about full motor unit recruitment of the muscle fibres. Which is key when it comes to building muscle. This is one of the questions researchers are looking for an answer too. At what point do we reach full recruitment of our muscle fibres?

A number of years ago I had read a study that concluded training 3 sets to failure was the best way to build muscle. Now I tried this and soon found out that if I trained every set to failure I didn’t have the energy to complete my workouts so I quickly abandoned this approach. But I did keep doing the last set to failure and using this information to program the number of reps I was going to do on the next workout. This way I would be increasing the load or volume as soon as I was ready.

In the article I was reading it mentions how many of these studies aren’t always done in such a way to mirror real life training situations. Or other metrics like volume don’t match up. Which is why it is better to look at the whole picture and not just one study.

One thing that was the same in all the studies is at some point they all trained to failure whether is was to find a maximum number of reps they could do with a given weight or their one rep max. And they used this information to base their future training on. The article mentions one study where they were broke into two groups, one group trained to failure every workout and the other group would only training to failure once every week to confirm progress and then would set their reps up for the next week based on the results.

Now as we get older we don’t recover quite as quickly as we used too and we need to keep this rate of recovery in mind as the more intense we train the more time we will need for recovery. Brad does mention in his article that there was a clinical trial done that used people in their 60’s and it found that training volume maybe more important than training to failure for muscle hypertrophy in older men. Once again showing that we can get fit and build muscle at any age.

Unfortunately at this time I could only access the abstract for that clinical trail, but first chance I get to fully review it. I’ll let you know.

Now the conclusion Dr Brad Schoenfeld came to after reviewing all the available studies was that training close to muscular failure within one or two reps would likely be similarly effective for increasing muscle size as training to failure would be. So in essence he was saying there was no need to train right to failure as training close to failure would bring about the same result.

So how would you know that you are training in this zone without training to failure? Interestingly enough Brad mentions training your last set to failure on each exercise as a good possibility, but that as of yet no studies have been done on this system of training.

The next options would be to occasionally train to failure whether that be once a week or once a month just to gauge where you are at. Over time you will develop the ability to feel how close you are to failure, just as when I do my last rep on my last set I perceive that I can’t do another rep. You can use rate of perceived exertion to gauge how many repetitions you have in reserve. Once you get this feeling down you will be able to tell if you have 2 reps left in the tank or 3 and you will know when it is time to stop.
