You\u2019re sweaty and sore, and just hoisting your gym bag onto your shoulder makes you groan. The workout was exhausting, but was it effective?<\/p>\n

Many trainers and athletes have long believed that lifting to failure \u2014 the moment when you can\u2019t complete another repetition of an exercise \u2014 is the best way to build muscle. But recent<\/a> research<\/a> has challenged that idea, suggesting that training at a slightly lower intensity can produce similar results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question I ask people is: \u2018Are we getting better or are we getting tired?\u2019\u201d said David Frost, an associate professor in the kinesiology department at the University of Toronto.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to lifting, it can be tough to know how hard your workout should feel. Learning what failure feels like \u2014 and understanding when you should push that far \u2014 can help you build a sustainable strength training routine and allow you to safely progress as you get stronger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
