So having adequately addressed both Layne Norton and Mike Israetel's personal attacks, logical fallacies and lame dismissals in my previous two videos, I'm going to focus going forwards only on those people with the guts to step up to my challenge.
Specifically I'm going to be running the videos people sent me of them training to a true 0 RIR or muscular failure. Said videos showing without exception what happens to rep speed and duration as people approach those levels.
Spoiler alert: none of them are by Mike Israetel or his training partners.
Because of course they aren't.
Let me reiterate that none of this is meant to suggest that you should train to failure. Rather, the point is that until you have trained to this level, you do NOT know what failure is. Nor can you anchor your workout to failure and train at any RIR/RTF value. It's really that simple.
Anybody who would like to send me videos of them training to this level of intensity where the weight will not move despite providing maximum effort can email the video or link or whatever to: videos@bodyrecomposition.com and I'll run them too.
That includes Mike Israetel, his training partners or Christian Thibadeau.
But I will not hold my breath for them.
