Failure Rates & Tactical Innovation

Years go, a friend expressed disinterest in weightlifting because "repetitions are boring." Something didn't sound right . I thought about it again this week while lifting weights.

So regardless of whether one is training to optimise endurance, or maximum resistance, it seems the following is true. Any moderate exercise will involve more repetitive activity, due to a smaller number of subsystem failures - and any extremely strenuous exercise will involve less repetitive activity, due to a greater number of subsystem failures.

The incidence of subsystem failures in exercise results in a need for the athlete to tactically compensate for those failures.  On a very small time frame, weightlifting is actually a business of innovation.
