Do you have to train to failure to gain muscle?

No, but you'd be a lot cooler if you did š

Here's 4 reasons why I'm choosing to go RPE 10 on 95% of my lifts:
1. Standardized progression
2. More effective reps per set
3. Less overall volume/time in gym
4. It's more fun
-
1. If you always go until you can't, and you keep your form the same, you know if you got stronger and increased your reps week to week. If you leave reps in the tank, there's always doubt how many were really left
-
2. I get all 5 effective reps out of every set and maximize my stimulus, even if I incur more fatigue. Which leads to
-
3. I can do less because I can get almost the same number of effective reps as doing 2 sets @ RPE 8. 5 for one failure set vs 2x3 effective reps when staying 2 shy of failure
-
4. I LOVE getting in the zone and training hard. Just giving everything I've got and knowing I'm done with that for the day. It fuels me.
-
Ultimately I think #4 is what makes the biggest difference. Cuz it gets me to show up and give my all every day. And consistency wins.
