Thr idea of GTG is about not working your muscles to failure, but to practice your exercises consistently.
This might mean instead of doing 100 straight puships, you might do something like 10 or 15 reps, take a rest and do that again until you reach 100 but never really getting to a failure state.
My experience feels anecdotal, but doing so… I went from doing 4 pull ups per set with extreme effort in 2 weeks to something approaching 7 to 8 reps with extreme effort.
🤔 Ive done shit like this all the time, especially the one punch man challenge and it might take me all day to get it done or just an afternoon, but it was never killing me and I managed to trim up nicely during the summer.
Anyone else tried it?
I never, never work out to failure. At least with actual weights. You will (almost) always break form before you reach muscle failure. It. Is. Not. Worth it. To chance an injury. Hell it’s not even a chance. If you push to failure point you will eventually pull, tear, sprain, etc, something. And then what? Now you aren’t working out at all.
