I had a conversation with ChatGPT about being physically fragile and not recovering/progressing properly. He pointed at the fact that I did 1-2 sets to failure as the core issue and so I tried doing 3 sets with 2-3 reps in reserve. How do you guys endure the temptation to go balls to the wall consistently, Jesus Christ
>>77199058everything I do is to failure
>AI-fags talk about LLM's like they are a person
>>77199090i thank the ai for taking the time to help me
>>77199058I go to failure in at least the last set of every exercise I do. If I've just upped the weight I'll go to failure in every set.
>>77199058grok is better
>>77199196i ask the ai how it's feeling and try to help it when it seems depressed.

>>77199058You just kind of bake in failure sparing or structure around going to failure. If I take my first set to failure I know the 2nd is going to be lower reps than the first and the 3rd will lower reps than that. So you can approach this a lot of diffent ways. You can go for broke with that first set then just not try as hard in the others.You can do straight sets. Ie you take your 10-12 rep weight do 8 reps rest 90 seconds do another 8 rest 90 seconds and that last set might get 8 or less that aforementioned performance decline from those first 2 sets has already set in and this one you really try to take to failure. If you get all 8s you can bump the weight up next time and keep doing it until you get them all there again. If the second set loses reps maybe drop weight.I like straight sets because it has both to-failure and failure-sparing baked in and modulated but the key to it is the fixed rest interval if you rest more you'll get more reps, if you rest less you'll get less. So for sake of comparing one workout to another you keep the rest variable the same.
Dude just do roids and eat a lot of protein it's not that serious
>Asking chatgpt about liftingIf I wanted a jew's opinion I'd just watch mike israetel.
I almost always go for failure in every set. I didn't knew this was an issue.
If you've been training for a while you can pretty much tell when you've completed the last rep you're gonna be able to ie you have 0 reps left in the tank. I stop there, I don't bother trying the next rep and failing it cause what's the point. I do this on every set since I don't do deadlifts and there is no real injury risk for the rest of the compounds I do do. No amount of heckin scientific research will be able to make me feel like I'm not leaving gains on the table by doing muh 3 RIR
>>77199058i don't care about strength really i just want to look good in a shirt
>>77200073You are probably just new.
>>77200088Same but a lack of strength increase implies a lack of hypertrophy
>>77199058it's an it not a he
