Researchers from the Physical Education Department at the Sport Sciences University of the Basque Country and the Department of Health Sciences at the University of Navarra in Spain have recently examined this question from a slightly different angle than most of the articles you have probably seen in and on the various muscle mags and bodybuilding related websites on the Internet. What Esteban M. Gorostiaga and his colleagues wanted to know was: Are There Significant Differences in Energy Metabolism When you Train to Failure? Or, put another way: Does it make a difference if you fail from a molecular energetic point of view...
