Doing training to failure allows for a very quick and yet highly effective muscle building workout. You wanna stimulate the greatest muscle stimulation possible in the shortest amount of time from ONE WORKOUT? Do 2 sets of as many reps as possible or in other words to failure, and you are done.
Just do 3 sets to failure with each exercise every other day, one exercise per body part, and you have the perfect combination of muscle stimulation and recovery time resulting in maximum muscle mass accumulation in a given mesocycle.
This is what prisoners do. They do failure training for 3 sets with one arm push up, pull ups and partner squats to get bigger and bigger day in day out.
And by failure I mean the inability to complete another rep in PERFECT FORM.

You can do all the volume you want, but if you're not hitting failure, what good is it. Dorian yates and many others only did 1 working set per exercise, and he got pretty dam big. I just don't think doing set after set after set is going to make you grow faster than take a few hard sets to failure. just been my experience. If you're just doing what your body can normally handle, what reason does it have to grow? If you're not pushing it. I agree, going to failure can drain you. The simple solution is to limit the amount of sets you do.

Training to failure seems to get recovered differently per muscle. Biceps tend to suffer from extreme training. On the other hand, some muscles are used also as helping muscles in other moves. So failure plus helping for other moves, is even more training.
Or maybe it gets problematic to train beyond failure. I mean, if you cannot do one more, but still do couple by increasing the effort, it gets too intense.

I go to failure on my last set. And if I can do more than 6 reps (or 10, whichever rep range you're working in) I increase the load so that in the next workout I fail at 6 reps or under on my last set. So I get the benefit of knowing when to increase the load, and am able to increase the load over time, and get multiple sets in my workout without feeling exhausted a quarter of the way into the workout.

I almost-always train to failure and I am part of the people that trains to reach that point. But I admit, I did notice some sudden fatigue for some entire week or so, some 2 or 3 weeks ago. My bf told me -just take it easy. - I did, and now I am back on track.
A week ago I was really sore for 4 days! But turns out next time I went for Leg Extension I easily had +14 kgs on it

if you train triceps to failure with high frequency and high volume your biceps or shoulders might respond with growth to compensate for triceps being overworked so much. It works on some people and not on others. I think it all has to do with trial and error and what you think your body responds better to.

Guys, remember if your working out 4 or more times a week I don't recommend training to failure as it can fitigue you and it won't give you gains either. Train with a few reps in the tank don't train to complete failure as it makes your workout take alot longer and alot painful.

The only way I noticed growth, was working out to failure. I don-t take no supplements at all. When I did reps and sets I felt tired and never noticed any growth, but a bit of strength, now I work till I can-t no more and noticed a big difference in growth.

So true, I trained to failure ALL the time. I was tired all the time, over trained, didn't see any results. Than, once I stopped training to failure all the time and did it like once or twice a week, the gains started to come.

I've just read -Huge in a Hurry- an the author says the closer you get to failure the less muscle fiber you use for your reps and thus these reps aren't worth the effort. It's the total opposite of what is said in this video
