Curious with everyones success, or lack thereof, with training to failure.
When Mike Matthews posted about this topic last week I thought, "I train to failure in all but my first set"
But, I've thought about it and went to the gym a few times since his post.
I found that I wasn't training to absolute failure but to technical failure (or can't do another rep without form breaking down).
Nearly every set was to or on-the-brink of technical failure which is way more than what studies show to be most optimal (the studies quoted by Mike Matthews).
Anyways, I've attached an except, from my short discussion with Mike, of my position and his response.
Where do you stand? How do you train?
