CT, never recommends going to failure in compound exercises.
it’s too much for the CNS to withstand this stress.
generally recommends failure only in isolated exercises. unilateral, pulley and some machines.
You do not have to go to failure to make progress. Work hard, but always stop at least 1 rep before failure.
just add weight to the bar, slowly, always building with patience.
It’s been 3 years since I’ve been training, no kind of exercise.
I trained for about 7 years, averaging 2 to 1x per week in full body.
I would always fail and beyond the fault, forced rep, negative rep … weights always very heavy
I made a lot of progress, but training like that made me exhausted.
I think it has been too much for my CN, although I have adapted to a certain level for the demands and excessive stress in CPN.
there came a time when I began to regress.
1 training per week and up to 1 workout every 14 days, worked for a period, but then I staggered.
I stopped training and did not come back until today.
I opened a topic here, reporting what happened.
For now, I recommend you leave 2 rep in the tank
try the 3 weeks and see the result.
just trying to find out.
