Squeezing out more reps for bigger gains

Quick tip:


When you're at the end of a set and it starts to burn, try shifting your focus. Instead of thinking about the discomfort, concentrate on something else. You might find you can squeeze out an extra rep or two.


The best way to ensure you've given your all is to keep going until your muscles truly fail. Do this safely, of course, but don't underestimate your ability. You might surprise yourself with an extra rep or two.


Recent data suggests that if you're stopping more than a few reps shy of failure, you might be missing out on some gains.
