@Donnie. I wouldn’t want to advise you on that to be honest, I don’t specialize in rehabilitation.
@Loader. Thank You.
@Rich. Cheers. I workout alone, but I do have a rack so I can squat and bench until I can do no more. You shouldn’t have a problem overhead pressing to failure without a rack though. You shouldn’t have to clean it from the floor though as it would expend too much energy before the set has even started.
@Keith. I have so many readers in their 40s and 50s. I don’t have any special advice though because the stimulus required (external) and biochemical changes (internal) that result in growth are the same for us all.
@wad. Immediately is best.
@Rich. You might want to invest in a rack or find a gym that has one, makes life a lot easier.
Mark

I’ve never worried about overworking my tendons; “safety” to me means not getting trapped under the bar (e.g. in a bench press) or having my form fall into an unsafe position (e.g. rounding my lower back on a deadlift) due to lack of strength. I still do train to failure where possible, and have found some creative ways to make it safe (e.g. bench to near failure then immediately drop into pushups until failure). On deadlifts I typically only do singles at heavy weights to make sure I can focus on perfect form with each rep and don’t get lazy with my back.

I’m 57 and there is a little voice telling me that I’m too old to train to failure.
I also had the thought that, as you said, training to failure will cause me to tear a tendon or ligament (not sure which bits a tendon and which bit is a ligament).
Some great helpful info here.
By the way Mark… I like your style on the video and a super Irish accent.

Any special advice for we over 50’s? I’m sure lots of the muscle hackers out there are in that age group.

I was just wondering, do you work out alone or with somebody? Because my greatest reluctance to go for “one more rep” on some exercises (squats, overhead press, incline barbell bench, etc) is for fear of the bar crashing down on me if I over-cook it without a spotter. I don’t have a power rack in my gym unfortunately, and there isn’t always anyone there to spot.

Cheers, keep on posting these articles mate, great morivation.

Rich

Maybe do some work out videos we can follow along with. It would be great motivation for those of us who workout alone.

This is more of a concern for those who work the same muscle group to failure more than once a week. By the time I hit the same muscle to failure, it’s had 7 days of recovery. However, I do take a full week off every 10 weeks to be on the safe side.
@Adam. I appreciate that mate, thank you.

Thanks for being such a great resource for all of us, Mark!

How long (# of weeks) does you body typically allow you to take work sets to failure, before you begin to feel the affects of over training?
