This is extremely important.
And I've left this for the bonus material section because I thought that some of you might pay attention
to this a little bit more but why.
Failure is no longer a part of your vocabulary.
Is that training to muscular failure when you're working out in the gym is not good.
I repeat not good for testosterone production.
Reason being and I mentioned this a little bit in the I T the high intensity interval training lecture
is that when you are training your muscle groups to failure that's putting a lot of fatigue on your
body and that does two things.
It produces a higher cortisol response so a higher stress response from your body which as we know limits
testosterone production.
So that's not good.
That is a no go.
The other thing is it also reduces your ability to train as frequently and as efficiently because if
you work your muscles to fatigue.
Let's say you train the lower part of your body and your abs twice a week let's say that's an example
split day for you if you completely blast your legs on Tuesday and you're supposed to do legs on Tuesday
and Friday.
There's a good chance that if you work to complete fatigue and every exercise you're doing you're going
to be way too exhausted and not completely recovered for your second workout on Friday.
So besides having a higher cortisol response to the stress that you're placing on your body and you're
also exhausting your muscles to the point of not being able to recover quickly enough to get in for
your second training session and that means less strength less muscle mass less testosterone less growth
hormone production which is bad bad bad bad bad for your testosterone levels.
So don't worry about train to failure.
I like to tell my clients and students keep two to three reps in the tank at the end so know that you
could have done a few more reps and keep in mind that we're focusing on our volume and density so focus
on getting tons of sets and a few reps like we discussed earlier doing a five by five or seven by five
set up for your set to reparacion so that you can focus on explosiveness so you can focus on lifting
heavy because that's going to elicit the best testosterone and growth hormone production.
So don't please please please please please don't train to failure is that good for other programming
yes is that good for producing a better testosterone response to your body.
Absolutely not.
