UM Personal Training

Many exercisers and exercise professionals emphasize training until failure. Exercising to failure refers to pushing your muscles to the point where they cannot perform any more repetitions of an exercise with proper form. The reason people like to train to failure is because it ensures total fatigue that helps maximize results. This type of training can offer a range of benefits for individuals looking to build strength and endurance. Some potential benefits of exercising to failure include: Increased muscle hypertrophy: Exercising to failure can help to stimulate muscle growth by recruiting more muscle fibers than traditional training methods. Different motor units have various thresholds for activation. As motor units fatigue and fail, these higher threshold motor unity are recruited. When you reach failure it means that all motor units have been exhausted. This can result in increased muscle hypertrophy and overall strength. Improved endurance: Pushing your muscles to failure can a
