Failure IS an option! In fact, failure can sometimes be the best option. If one constantly chooses “easy,” growth is nearly impossible. Challenge spurs growth. This is due to the “law of accommodation,” which basically asserts that your mind and body get used to the same routine. Your new workout, for example, might be hard for the first few weeks, but it will eventually get easier for you. Muscle failure is where growth occurs, not the easy reps. (Cont.)
