Why We Train to Failure

Why We Train to Failure—And Why It Works for People Over 45

One of MYO’s most effective principles is training each muscle group to momentary muscular failure. That means lifting until you physically cannot perform another slow, controlled rep with good form.

Why is this especially beneficial for clients over 45 in the Minnetonka area? Because it maximizes muscle recruitment without requiring long workouts or high-impact movements. It’s time-efficient, measurable, and incredibly effective at stimulating strength gains and muscle growth.

At our private studio near Wayzata and Excelsior, every MYO session is supervised by a professional to ensure perfect form and safe execution. Training to failure doesn’t mean pushing recklessly—it means pushing smart, with precision.

If you want to get stronger, leaner, and more resilient in less time, this is your blueprint.
