    226: Martin Refalo - What Training To Failure Actually Means
    Feb 22 2026
    In this episode of The General Muscle Podcast, Lawrence is joined by Martin Refalo to unpack one of bodybuilding’s most debated topics: training to failure vs reps in reserve (RIR). They explore whether we can truly gauge failure accurately, how lifters often misjudge proximity to failure, and what the research says about pushing sets to the limit. Most importantly, the discussion turns practical, outlining how to apply RIR and failure intelligently within your program, when to push harder, and when leaving reps in the tank might actually drive better long-term progress.
