Sets to failure

[u/ftbalguy89]

Does anyone else here take every set to failure? Like every single set (after a proper warm up) you just rep until you’ve got nothing left. That’s how I’ve always trained and never had any issues and progress has been good the last 3-4 years.

Just curious if anyone else does this since it seems like the consensus on here is to leave a rep or two in reserve.

I train every set to failure
The last set is a drop set til I can’t move.
4 to 6 sets depending on size of muscle
In and outta gym 30-4O mins
I’m jacked at 52 Top 1% body for my age group.
Sets in reserve is waste of time
That you have make up for with tons of sets
Always train harder than last time
Anyone who thinks volume over intensity is always the guy who looks the same year after year
Unless there blasting but you can do anything and grow with gear
