Is it really failure if you’re not screaming like Dr Mike?

Not gonna lie this gave me a confidence boost. I've seen all this talk about failure to fail and RIR but I've been doing just what he does all along lol.

Teaching by showing us video demonstrations was invaluable. It was worth more than any verbal only explanation.

God knows why people hating this. But as per to rir 0 the rep speed definitely will get slower. It's fucking common sense.

Its fun because when people said they were doing 4 sets of 12 reps i always wondered if i had a severe cardio problem. I would do 12 in the first, rest 2 minutes, and then the second set i barely could do another 7-8, sometimes even drop to 6. So my projected 4X12 would look like 12,8,6,4 with the last 2 sets being an absolute grind.<br>So basically i´ve training to failure on every set since i started lol, no wonder why: <br>A) I got more than decent size and strenght gains doing relatively low volume<br>B) Everytime i tried to ramp volume i just couldnt take it.<br>C) Cant judge my own RPE since any set that doesnt end with 3 slow bar grindy reps feels like a warm up and leaves me unfullfilled.
