Bro just made himself a twin lol. Nice editing

training till failure < eating till failure

I love pushing myself to failure, it's when i feel the most alive. It's such a primal feeling to have your will win over your body.

Jeff spotting Jeff, never trust anyone but yourself. Smart.

Training till failure on bulgarian split squats is pure insanity and I love doing it

I get it… you think I’m a failure

Leg extensions to failure with extremely slow eccentric.... That moment of standing up after and shaking it off to get that blood rush is one of the best feelings.

Bro doppelgangered himself just to show a technique. What a legend

We need a Twin Jeff with a Bro Jeff sneaking in the back next time 🤣

TWO JEFFS?! The world isn’t ready

Hes still doin it. Straight up, informative, no bullshit. Love this guy

As someone with TWO tweaked hamstrings recovering from a meniscus surgery, it hurts my eyes to see people going past failure on hammy curls. I would do anything to just be healthy again. I promise Lord, I will never try to return too fast.

I pretty much always go to failure unless it's high rep sets, then I just stop when I get sick of it. Then I throw the weights and say F this.

This is getting out of hand… now there are TWO of them

Very nice editing! The subtle zoom really sells the 2 merged shots as 1

You're the one influencer which makes a lot of sense in his videos on which the audience can trust❤

Jeff has me yelling control the negative during my shoulders workout today. Props king!

You know it's a cool feeling when you already train this Way and see a video that says science supports your training.

Bulgarian split squats to failure.....my god I'm gona try that LOL

I also do a numbered set and run the last to failure. Has absolutely changed and made results. One day, step and thought fueling consistency into action at a time. Your future self will thank u.

Very smart as always, thank u jeff

You have earned my respect for showing us with your leg day

I do Bulgarian split squats and leg curl on leg days past failure and I get someone to assist me with partials and it's definitely worth it it feels a lot more fulfilling than leaving a few reps on the table

I totally agree with this method. It's the most advanced method in my opinion. Failure on the last set. Sometimes you can also quickly drop to a lower weight and get 3-5 more reps.

This is a perfect piece of info. A short that's more useful to people than most full length vids

💪🏾 Been watching ya videos for a month. keep up the gr8 info mate

I just found your page and you have answered all the questions I’ve had for the last 5 yrs

Literally me. I slack off in the gym too much.

It is about consistently going at it week after week while progressively overloading grows your muscles. You will eventually train to failure at some point but I don't find it sustainable to do it all the time. Say I gave all I got today, but I have to beat it next week, and the week after... It will burn me out in no time. How can I keep doing it for months? That's where ego lifting, compromising form and most common gym mistakes occur. If I'm just making sure the sets are challenging, it is enough hypertrophy stimulus. Next week I can add a couple pounds, a couple reps, continue to improve and keep growing for months. It doesn't matter how fast you are going, it is about how far you will go.

Last time i watched jeff was awhile ago and back then he stopped at 1-2 RIR. Glad to see hes changed this stance. Whatever is challenging for you is what you should be doing.

Dude editing is top notch definitely top tier KZfaqr and greatly educated love it bro

Your heart is a muscle... so is important to train it to failure 🫡

I used to take every set to failure, then I injured myself from overtraining. I had bad, constant pain in my elbow and hamstrings. I still have it today, but it’s not as bad as it used to be. I discovered that while doing a set, when I cannot lift as fast as I started, I can do about 3-4 more reps until failure. So now, I lift in a steady rhythm, and when my movement begins to slow down on the concentric, I do one more rep. That’s about 2 reps in reserve for me. Then, I end the set with an extremely slow eccentric before putting the weight down. When I can do 10 reps or more in all sets of the exercise, I increase the weight slightly the next session.

the problem with most people isn't that they get close to failure or true failure... the problem is they choose arbitrary numbers like 3 x 10 reps even if they could actually do 17-18 reps.

I’ve only been lifting for about a year but the last 4 months or so I’ve been doing every set to failure after warm up and I’ve been getting way more gains lifting like that. Kind of Mike mentzer style. Like chest day is 2 warm up sets incline dumbbell press then 2 sets to failure, 2 sets dips to failure and 2 sets chest flys or chest press to failure. Only takes like 25 mins with 2 min rest times and it’s yielding the best results I’ve ever gotten.

With extensions and leg curls, I assist once I hit failure and then do a few negatives.

Really great pacing and editing Jeff this is a great short

i always do 4 sets, 1 feel-set with low weight to get in the zone for that specific exercise, 2nd set is a weight slightly higher, done at a higher intensity by incorporating static holds, fast concentric and very controlled, slow eccentrics (until failure or 1-2 reps shy) the next 2 sets are my working sets that i do until maximum failure (initial rep failure with partials at the end and then those myo breaks or whatever where i rest for 20-30s and push out a few more reps)

Call me an optimist; I always control the negative. *BARS* 🗣🔥🔥

As a 54 year old who has been strength training for decades, I believe the 1-2 RIR matching the 0 RIR is more indicative that the study was done on inexperienced lifters. After you have been doing it a while, taking your last set to 0 RIR is the key to progressive overload.

I always do partial reps on my last sets now. I only got a little left to give but it’s still something

So true about the Bulgarian slip squats to failure, I dread them the most lol

please make one on muscular imbalance I've left chest bigger than my right chest I don't know why...

Wait there is two Jeff? 😮 makes so much sense now

You have my respect just by going to failure in EVERY set in leg day omg

On compound exercises like the squat, deadlift or presses, training to failure even once per exercise is like going for a tear

Weight lifting is so fluid and yet i still suck at it

would love to see what this looks like for SBD and Press

Oh I thought it meant training til I feel like a failure, which is during the first rep.

I train till failure just purely because i dont like knowing i could have done more

Hands up,hands down you are the best for a fitness influencer

You’re fucking awesome Jeff, never forget that

A mix is probably best, since probably about how much has to be repaired by your body and pushing your body.

I always feel much better about my progress when I train to failure on my last set of an exercise. The only exception being lat exercises, because I never feel like I can find the sweet spot to bring my lats to failure before everything else.

“Highest quality study” says it all

Love the content and info man!

Jeff learned the Shadow Clone jutsu for his videos. Real commitment 👏

One day after my leg workout I see this thanks

I also spot myself. Jokes aside this is pure value!

Did this today.. almost craped my pants 😂😂

Bro is going to make my legs explode

i take every single set to failure. makes working out way more fun for me

Thank you for this video! All the discussion on RIR and failure training the last few years have led to a lot of confusion.

Been doing my last set to complete failure for a long while.

I saved from a third split squat thank-you

I found from experience that going to failure and then doing half reps works best for growth

I always do 4 sets, 1 warm up, 2 between 8-12 reps and then the last set is till failure, works for me but each to their own 🤷‍♂️

Yo can you do some science based training videos on training for strength and athleticism instead of size

Always take my sets to failure since I've been one my whole life

I love you so much for blessing us w v importante info, Jeff Nippard ❤

We’ve known this for about a decade now, but going all the failure guarantees growth, whereas it’s easy to convince yourself “yes I only have 2 RiR” when it’s secretly 4

I did leg curls and had the craziest most painful cramp going till failure

My Respects to Jeff for Performing Mitosis on himself so that he could get this shot...

Thanks for making my leg days harder.

Buy Nuobell dumbbells. You can not drop them on the floor so you must leave exactly in the tank what it’s going to take you to rerack them and set the new weight. It takes a couple weeks before you don’t notice you’re even doing it.

Bro-tip that I wish you had stated: if we're training with progressive overloading in our program, then we will very likely hit failure for exercises by design.

Editing is going crazyyyyy 🏆🏆💪🏽💪🏽😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🥇

You can just feel when you’re about to fail. That’s how you know.

Love the Jeff picture in picture

Thx for those tips ❤️‍🔥

That editing was dope

I wouldn’t recommend going to failure on squats or deadlifts, or any variation. The risk to reward ratio is bad. But you can do those exercises first and then take the subsequent exercises to failure.

Best editing in the fitness world 👌

I can definitely feel when I'm 1 rep away.

I am honestly done with new studies every year.

Which editing app is that? So goood man

Excellent short

Brilliant video respect brother YNWA

Going to failure on leg extensions and then dropping the weight, going to failure, then dropping another 10kg is fun.

Had Legday today hit some new PRs as it's often the case. I always go to failure

The goal of going to the gym isn’t to succeed, it’s to fail. To fail, every time. Very humbling, and difficult. but overtime builds strength from consistent failure.

As a 15 year old, 133 pound boy, I personally like pushing my self. I don’t know if this is good, but I can do 2 reps of 280 pounds on the Leg Press.

Every fitness study: "yeah it actually doesn't matter"

Thanks for the info! Do you take your last set to failure in every workout or just from time to time? I was wondering how big the effect on recovery is.

We live in a world of extremes. In fitness we have two: the bros and the science based community. I'll just enjoy my training and not overcomplicate every single detail.

I know that this was a serious short, but his face when he was doing a rep was cracking me up. 😂

My muscles are always sore for way too long, but i also want to push my limits in the gym

Well here’s the thing going till failure builds ur strength n endurance faster then it would if u didn’t go till failure

Lift heavy, lift hard, lift often. Don't overthink this boys.

Thanks Jeff
