When Failure is Success

There are three types of people in the gym, there are the people that socialize, the people that think they’re training, and the people that are actually training. The first two types of people think they’re having success in the gym but the last type of person is going for failure, but by going to failure they actually achieve success.

Confused yet? Let me explain.

When I’m in the gym, I push every set to the best of my abilities. I concentrate on each repetition, that builds each set, which builds each circuit, which builds each day of exercise. This means that every time you’re in the gym, you need to actually make your body work. It means that you actually have to challenge yourself. Going back to that failure thing: That means that if your target amount of reps is 8 or 12, you should just barely be able to get to that target. If your target is 8 reps but you end up doing 25 reps, you are going too light.

In other words, you goal in the gym is to push yourself to failure (with proper form, of course) and by doing that your body will respond by adjusting to that work load.

Here are some tips to make your workouts harder:
1. Use proper form.
2. Slow your movement speed.
3. Increase your range of motion during each repetition.
4. Increase weight.
5. Increase repetitions.
6. Increase the number of sets.
7. Increase the number of exercise.
8. Decrease rest time between sets.
9. Do two different exercises targeting the same muscle back to back.
10. Train with genuine concentration.
