i can completely understand where you're coming from brian. obviously if you are solely a STRENGTH athlete, practicing an extremely regimented program and following regulation of weights reps sets etc, failure is not beneficial. HOWEVER, if you're the average guy wanting to look better, should you be so cautious not to over train? Hell no! if you go to school or work a desk job all day and go intense in the gym for an hour you most likely won't over tax yourself. the problem is people these days lack DRIVE. how many dudes do you see moping around commercial gyms treating their workout like a tender little baby? Lift hard, utilize failure sets, focus on pace and intensity, work in strength for compounds, eat, and get results! enough of this Oh well my program only has me doing this i don't want to over do it if you aren't a powerlifter/competing then get your ass in the gym and crush the weights

Shredded bro! Nice symmetry too. I hear where you're coming from. push hard. test your limits. Some of us define failure differently as well. some think of fatigue as failure while others think of failure as mechanical. where you can no longer lift. Most people think of failure in terms of the concentric portion of the lift. but you still have some eccentric strength left. and that's where a spotter comes in.
All in all. this video just shows the beauty of the YouTube fitness community coming together and helping each other out. Well done.

Awesome vid! Question, when I go to failure I find myself getting so much more sore the next day. Since I'm doing lohilo, should I be aiming at failure on the strength days to really max out the weights and reps? And also is there anything I can do to get over the soreness to get at the next workout? Thanks brah! LIFT HEAVY OR DIE 'MIRIN!

I kinda wanna add my 2 cents. I think the big compound movements like squat, deadlift, bench, OHP, should be paced with low reps and then as the isolation or accessory movements, they should be higher rep and intense, low rest times.

I don't think there is an ideal physique, it's all subjective and what is an ideal physique for some people might not be for another.
