Описание: Intensity of Effort in Strength Training: Are You Actually Training Hard Enough?

Most people believe they’re “training hard.”
In reality, many stop 3–10 reps too early—well before the point where meaningful muscle growth and body composition changes actually occur.

In this video, Exercise Physiologist Logan Herlihy breaks down what intensity of effort truly means in strength training—and why it’s one of the most misunderstood (and underapplied) variables in fitness.

If you’re a busy professional training in short windows—30 minutes or less—this matters even more. You don’t have time for low-effort sets or wasted reps. You need high-quality effort that forces your body to adapt.

In this video, you’ll learn:

What “training hard” actually looks like in practice

How to tell if you’re finally working at the right intensity of effort

Why stopping early limits strength gains and muscle growth

How higher intensity (done safely) produces better results in less time

Why intensity is a skill you can learn—not just a feeling

Signs you’re training at the right intensity:

Slower, controlled rep speed

Muscle shaking and deep fatigue

Burning in the muscle (not the joints)

That internal debate about whether you can complete one more rep

Those final, controlled reps—often the ones people avoid—are where the stimulus for growth actually begins.

You’ll also learn:

Why the last few challenging reps matter more than total volume

A simple one-set test you can try today to see if you’re leaving results on the table

How to push close to muscular failure without ego, risk, or sloppy technique

If you’ve ever asked:

“How hard should I be pushing my sets?”

“Do I really need to train close to failure?”

“Why am I consistent but not seeing results?”

This video will give you a clear, science-backed framework for dialing in intensity—without theatrics, extremes, or wasted time.
