In his latest newsletter update on Instagram, Jay Cutler gave a snippet of the fitness information for this week. He went on to talk about training till failure, which both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mike Mentzer propagated. The first thing written on the mail snippet was as follows: ?There are lots of reasons why I don’t believe training to failure makes sense, but there is one which really stands out for me. Risk of injury!? So, according to Jay Cutler, the intense training method, without stopping and going to failure, might be injurious to the body.

He had said that if it is, “real pain like if you touch it, take another day off it?s not worth it..?
