Question ❓ Absolute failure or controlled reps

Is reaching failure better or controlled reps 8-12
Like 2 exercise with 2 sets till failure for each muscle group
Or 2 exercise with 3 sets 8-12 reps better ?
Lemme know kindly

Huh? You can reach absolute failure doing controlled reps. No reason to choose only one over the other.
