#126 Dean and George - Training To Failure - When you should & shouldn't

Most people either believe 'you need to train to failure' OR that 'training to failure is bad'. But this topic isn't as black and white. In this episode, your hosts Dean and George take you on a tour of all things training to failure. They'll explain how it's not 'good or bad' but rather, how it might be more or less appropriate for you (or your clients) at different points in time. Armed with this knowledge, you're better equipped to make effective decisions.
