Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Isn't training till failure a really bad plan? It'll cause damage that's really hard to heal from.
Training to failure is a pretty great idea for beginners and something that should be done often at any training age. Main reason being you need to take a set to within 3 reps of mechanical failure to get a proper growth stimulus. So you need to lean where the line actually is, and remind yourself often.
The vast majority of people have no idea how to push a set hard enough. That’s not my opinion btw, 80% of the people you see walking around the gym get this wrong.
Doesn’t cause any notable damage. You will be extremely sore however if you rush into it. But once you’re accustomed to it you can pretty much train a muscle every 2 or 3 days if you wanted, as long as your sleep and nutrition are on point.
Certainly agree from my experience with a personal trainer. Never got so sore working out by myself.
