Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

I wouldn't recommend taking that all the way to failure.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

But you'll get close.

Huberman Lab

I'll get close.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

Yeah.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

Oh, yeah.

Huberman Lab

For me, it's always going to be close.

Huberman Lab

My criteria there would be form breakdown.

So as soon as my form started to break down, I might have had another two reps left or three reps left, but that's it for that on the barbell row.

Whereas if I'm doing a... Here's a better example.

If I'm doing a one-arm...

cable pull down from my lats, which I love that exercise gets a really good stretch in the lats to come down.

So there's the difference between them.

Huberman Lab

But I'm always advising that you're training towards the the high end unless you're training for strength.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

which is a whole different game.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

That's a whole different set of rules.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

It's a whole different stimulus that you're trying to build there.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

That is high, high loads that you're trying to manage efficiently, not with inefficiency to try to force muscle growth.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle, Great Posture & Resilience to Injury | Jeff Cavaliere

So that's a whole different

ball of wax and you're really trying to stay away from true failure there.
