WHAT IS FAILURE? When and Why Training to Failure is Beneficial? When it's NOT!

Greg is the king of keeping things simple with quality information.

3:49 = Calling out Jeff Nippard

Brother love your videos!

My anxiety went higher than last time on those leg press clips

I love watching or listening to this awesome honest great man. Am I addicted? I am gratefull. Thank you.

3:45 I think thats the first time greg has called us pussies lmao

3:48 sounds like Pewds

You are the best ! I’m stick to your videos

Just joined the gym and trained to failure on squats... haven't walked in 3 days

Coach Greg- are you supposed to go to failure on every set or on just the last set of an exercise?

Thanks 🙏.

3:50

So i dont train too hard, gotcha😏

5:30 😂

Do you track your HRV with an app like Elite HRV for tracking recovery etc.?

"Wrap up your elbows" ah yes, I forgot my wrists were elbows

3:52 💀😭

It doesn't matter.

Coach do you train to failure every set or the last set of every exercise?

technical failure - when you cant do another rep with good form if your lost more than 10 percent of your strenght rest longer- unless your training to hypertrophy - go till tired -twice a week hard each body part

“I don’t know if I’m some kind of genius”

Failure isn’t an option, its a requirement

Is no body gonna talk about how at 0:49 his phone notification went off at the perfect time

if it takes me 3-4 days to fully recover am i working out too hard ?

Greg you recommend 15-20 reps to build size? Is that what i just heard? or would 8-12 be better? Thanks

I have been training for 3 months after an injury.. And I have trained in past for 5 months with poor nutrition i.e why I got injured I suppose.. am I a newbie???

I am 16 years old and train (biceps/triceps with dumbells) in home. I rest 2days of week. How often I should train to failure???every day of training??? Every set??

when just starting how do you figure out how much to start with? I started with 135 and lifted it 10 times to failure then the 2nd rep i could only do it 6 times. should I take off the weight to do atleast 10 or what? I guess it doesn't matter did it 5 days s week and the next week added 5 more pounds and was to get another 10 than 7.

3:50 What we all need more of.

Go to any gym In America and 95% of trainees are small and all use bro splits and volume training. I rarely see HIT style or failure training because it's hard.

Training to failure exactly how the best IFBB pros train now including Valliere and Labrada..key is with low volume u need to ensure mind muscle connection

10:37

I am slightly confused by his advice in this video. In a future video that he did months after this one he says don't cheat on the girls, but cheat on the curls. He said when you hit failure,it's OK to swing for 1 or 2 reps to get more work in.

This guy rocks, like his videos, no BS

0:49 that notification timing was perfect

Ppl that leg press like that makes me sick like it looks like there shii is gonna fold

Absolutely correct advice and everyone should know this without being told. Just one reason I like to workout at home because you can take your time and not have to worry about getting off the equipment in a rush.

Dr Greg

Thank you sir for posting so much GOOD content. Just bought the cookbook. Going to finally get the diet/training on track. I’ve listened to every freakin AMhistoryr talk non stop crap you can’t even understand!! This is simple to the point ! Awesome stuff man.

Noooooooooooooo 😃

5:32-5:33, funniest one second comment I’ve ever heard on You Tube. I almost puked with laughter!

I am helping my doctor. I watch every video till the end even with all the ads. Do I have to? NO! Do I enjoy them? Yes, absolutely.

You have the best bodybuilding channel you should be proud

The three most important words... "With proper form."

hey greg. I want to buy your training book. if I purchase it. will I get it via email?

"I'll get to them in 10 minutes!" . . . . 12 minutes 30 seconds remaining in the video......

But that isn’t actually true now is it? Because it sure seems to me that bodybuilders who train almost exclusively in high rep ranges, seem to be injured more than most other people who are actually athletes. Bodybuilders seem to pop their titties all the time with their super high reps sets. Sure seems like lots of bodybuilders get lots of muscle tears, connective tissue tears, and joint blowouts, while at the same time being pretty exclusively the demographic that does not train with heavyweight

I hit a plateau because of training to failure on bench press every chest day

So should I start with a higher weight then move to a lighter weight every set?

Greg = great entertainment + great great knowledge... best of all AMhistoryrs

Well i am tired after the first or second set ...😅

How can people not train to failure? Even some advanced ones🤦‍♀️ I started training less than a year ago and got interrupted for 3 months because of the lockdown, still I train to failure in 90% of my sets and at least on one set I'll go way beyond failure

Common sense is a curse

there is the other 'failure' which dorian yates demonstrates in his blood and guts series. i try to train the way dorian does, but follow coach greg's 3 best series :)

Btw LOL that clip of Jesse, considering this was all before the Jeff/Greg thing its pretty ironic xD

All the dumb people with no common sense disliked

I don’t know what I did to you sir, but you don’t have to SHOUt at me!

When ppl snap their legs straight on a leg press is the scariest thing to observe......

Dang, thought I was not lifting enough.So I did 5-6 sets of 10 reps and reach failure in the second set..🙃then just rest pause and rep it out

Pooopato

I’m eating Oreos till failure “Numb crunch numb crunch” New world record! I finished 2 packs 😂😂

You are like the Sergant from Fallout 2 :D

I used to hate Greg's voice and now I listen to him every morning as I wake up 😩

I train until I nearly puke 3 times a week and still look forward to going back 🤷‍♂️

I love doing dumb bell curls drop set beyond failure. Till 10lbs becomes impossible.

His cook book is crazy good! I just got it today🙏❤️

Why is the answer to the video title me?

I want to thank Coach Greg. I have been feeling devoted lately towards my gym but seeing you the way you are in your 40s inspires me I push myself. You're not a doctor but you sure are a damn good motivator.

Do people really not know what training to failure means? Now i know why he gets so frustrated, people are morons.

My life is

I binge watch the heck out you..

Natty or not claire p Thomas please

Those veins tho

Man I feel stupid heheheh

Gregg rocks. Fact!

LOL with greg doing the type thing kills me LOL

What you're describing is muscle fatigue, not failure

is training to failure optimal for type 2 muscle fiber growth?

Literally, everyone trains like this though, well from my experience... I always see newbies and intermediates hitting failure and beyond. I do that as well and I'm considered an experienced newbie. It's engraved in my mind. I always go to failure and beyond and I only get a little sore with many sets.

I like that fresh cut doc that fade is on point.

When training on strength exercises. Should you go all the way till you can’t do another rep or leave another rep in the tank

I just love coach greg😂

Seeing those people straighten their legs on the leg press gives me war flashbacks

3:47😂😂

Hey.

When i eat only half a cup of rice. I can hear him in my head screaming "dont be a carbophobe"!.

Random comment to help algorithm.

HIRE COACH GREG !!!!

I go back to this video every week

3:50 What are you weightlifting Bros who are actually bigger than you but you think you are?

4:00

Doc got a lightning storm on his arms. All kinds of lightning

Poussssssies

Distracted by the puppers

Did he just say “PLEASE Subscribe”?

Does strength-focused training help lose weight as well? i feel like my workouts and recovery is much better with heavier weights and lesser reps (well I'm a beginner and heavy for me is like half my body weight for bench press)

What I do is every time I think I’m done I say I got 5 reps left in the tank and I end up cranking out a ton of reps until I look like ima explode

5/3/1 reccomends starting with 60% of your 1 rep max, and reccomends training to volume failure, rather than strength failure. Arguing semantics slightly but the two are different and I'd reccomend one faster than the other depending on the person.

PUSSIES! No filter I love it.

I'm skinny as shit so I always train to failure. They don't make a weight light enough for me to not fail before a normal arm day is over.
