Limit Failure Training to About 10% of Sets or Workouts

Only about 10% of sets in a workout, or 10% of workouts overall, should be high-intensity efforts taken to muscular failure. Most sets should stay shy of failure to allow more total training volume.

“I think nowadays most people agree that 10% of the sets of a given workout or 10% of workouts overall should be of the high intensity sort where one is actually working to muscular failure. But the point being that most of your training, most of your sets should be not to failure.”
