This is something that I have been thinking about constantly.

I have heard a wide spectrum of answers. You have those who do high volume (12 sets plus) all to positive failure or basically form failure.

Then you have some like Meadows who train in the RPE of 8-9 of leaving a couple reps in the tank but sometimes taking last set to failure.

Lee Haney said to stimulate don’t annihilate but what exactly would be considered annihikating is a question I have had. So I did a quick google search on him and this article followed on training to failure

I have a former pro at my gym (debi laskowski) and have talked to her on her ideas of training. She said she is high volume and all sets to failure in order to get the tears in the muscle then with supplemtarion and diet you rebuild.

But my question has always been is taking every set to positive failure counter productive then leaving a couple reps or even taking just the last set to failure.

I know Justin Harris has said that he takes compound movements to failure T around 1-2 sets and for isolation type work, it’s all to form/positive failure.

I think this will be good to hear from those that are advanced.

William,

Does he have a certain amount of exercises per muscle group? Or is it usually just 1-2 movements similar to D.C. Training.

Thanks Robbie. Just checked out the video section and couldn’t find it. Do you by chance know what the title is?
