Just a quick little diversion from the series on the nuances of training to failure to ask a question.

So the same fitness 'professionals' who prattle about how training to muscular failure is so bad take a lot of research studies at completely face value (because they support the current higher volume is superior bias) without seeming to realize or recognize that the supposed workouts in the studies completely contradict the idea that tarining to failure is detrimental.

So I ask the question: assuming these study workouts are even possible to complete (hint: they aren't)...is training to failure bad or are these research studies valid.

It can't be both.

Note: I am not advocating training to failure. I am asking supposed fitness professionals to explain a rather large contradiction. Not that I expect that explanation to contain anything tangible. Somehow it never does.
