In weight training, training to failure is repeating an exercise (such as the bench press) to the point of momentary muscular failure, i.e. the point where a repetition fails due to inadequate muscular strength. Training to failure is, however, a controversial topic. The proponents of High Intensity Training — Mike Mentzer, Arthur Jones and Ellington Darden — advise training to failure on every set.

  • In weight training, training to failure is repeating an exercise (such as the bench press) to the point of momentary muscular failure, i.e. the point where a repetition fails due to inadequate muscular strength. Training to failure is, however, a controversial topic. The proponents of High Intensity Training — Mike Mentzer, Arthur Jones and Ellington Darden — advise training to failure on every set. Other experts believe that this will lead to overtraining, and suggest training to failure only on the last set of an exercise.
