Momentary failure can be defined as the point trainees reach where despite attempting to do so, they cannot complete the concentric portion of their current repetition without deviation from the prescribed form of the exercise. Instead of momentary "muscular" failure, the term momentary failure is used because there is no current consensus on where the lack of continued ability to carry on with the task despite attempts to do so arises. Confusing terminology, among other things, highlights the limitations of the current research on proximity to failure. - James Fisher, PhD, is here to give us some insight!
