To lose weight long-term, focus on diet and incorporate strength training to build lean muscle mass, which increases basal metabolic rate.

“If you're looking to stop a few reps short of failure, it requires you to be able to accurately gauge your true limits - something hard to do, if you've never trained to failure in the first place.”

“practically I think most people probably should train to failure at a certain point because otherwise it's really hard to determine what failure is”

“one of the cool great recommendations I think from Lane Norton was that everybody trained a failure at least once and you know maybe every training block trained a failure at least once Because unless you train to failure similar to like what we talked about with V2 max if you never go to failure you don't really know what failure feels like”
