Whats the difference between muscular failure and gassing?From the Crossfit Journal Article "What about Cardio?" June 2004
"If, during a set of thursters, the reps continue smoothly until the athlete suddenly stops, pallor ashen or green, lips blue, ventilation rate high, heart rate high, non-communicative, and he's "flag poled" the bar to hold himself up, we say he's "gassed".
"In contrast, if during a set of thrusters, each passing rep is slower than the one before until one rep finally stops at three-quarter extension, pauses only to come thundering back to the chest, the athlete is flushed (not ashen), ventilation rate and heart rate are less significant, and the athlete is immediately communicative on unloading. This is "muscular failure"."
