Take Control Field Notes
Do You Need to Train to Failure to Build Muscle?
Training to failure can build muscle, but it is not a prerequisite. Current trials and meta-analyses suggest that hard sets stopped just short of failure can produce similar hypertrophy with less acute fatigue, while actual failure may be most useful selectively.
How Often Do You Need to Lift?
How many days a week should you lift? For general health, two is a strong starting point. For muscle and strength, the better question is whether your schedule lets you do enough high-quality work and recover from it.
