Time for Failure Routine

Training to failure. You either love it or hate it. Personally, I have gotten great results from it, provided you do it correctly.

The basics are as follows: do no more than two sets per exercise; always squat inside a rack, if you don’t have a rack – DON’T DO IT – switch to dumbbell squats or deadlifts instead; workout only once or twice a week, no more and no less; and finally go to failure and I mean really go. Lift the weight until you can’t possible do another rep.

Give your body plenty of rest, good food and water because you’re going to need it. On some of your off days, do high intensity cardio to keep yourself in decent shape.

I don’t recommend training to failure all year round. You can get burned out rather quickly from it. But if you want to see size and strength gains like never before, give training to failure a try and follow the guidelines above for maximum results.

In my opinion an individual should change their training every 13 weeks to keep the body stimulated at all times. The human body can adapt to a training style rather quickly. If you keep changing it up, you should have continuous improvements all year long.

Bench Press or Dips
Pulldowns or Chins
Overhead Press
Squats or Deadlifts

Notes: Train consistently 1-2 days per week. Add weight to the bar whenever possible and get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
