Sup FJ, every time I lift (Every other day) I lift until muscle failure (My arms are dead for 25-35 minutes)
I see plenty of results and I am getting stronger but will hitting muscle failure every other day for extended periods of time hurt me long term?

ultimatepowah (09/02/2012) [-] I'm not sure about muscle damage, it probably won't happen if you just get proper rest after that and sleep enough.
BUT
Training until you drop can easily lead to bad form which means a good chance for injuries.
pls be safe

hybridboxll (09/02/2012) [-] There's no real reason that should hurt your muscles.
Some people will say you'll over-train or "fry" your Central Nervous System but that's just because of the different definitions of "failure".
From the point of view of someone who lifts weights "failure" means not being able to repeat another rep without help (using lighter weight, using a spotter, negatives, etc). THAT is not harmful.
From the point of view of a physiologist (the ones that make the studies and publish their conclusion) "failure" is the absolute inability of moving your muscle. THAT will fuck your shit up if done routinely.
Actually, doing one-rep exercises is more likely to cause CNS fatigue than training to failure every day of the week.
IF you somehow managed to work out hard enough to damage your CNS you'd notice right away. Some of the symptoms are lack of motivation, poor mood, impaired cognitive ability and the perception that you're working out a lot harder than you really are (lifting 20lbs feels like 40).
tl;dr no, it won't hurt you.
