=============================================

This study looked at how people choose the weight they lift during resistance training. They wanted to see if the weight commonly used for 10 reps on the bench press will actually match the effort people put in when lifting. They had 160 healthy men (who have a history of working out) answer a question about the weight they usually lift for 10 reps. Then, they had them lift that same weight for as many reps as possible (train to failure). They found that, on average, people could lift that weight for about 16 reps and a quarter of participants went as far as 19 reps! This is a HUGE problem because it means the majority of participants in this study aren't actually training anywhere close to failure in their regular workouts. Now I'm not saying you need to train to 100% failure for every set and every exercise, but you do need to push yourself until there is sufficient strain on the muscle being trained. Otherwise it's like you're preparing for the 100 meter dash but in your training you never run faster than a seniors mallwalking club.
IT AIN'T GONNA WORK :(
