Aren't there certain compounds exercises that would be too dangerous to perform to failure? Like say, back squats - if you fail at the bottom of the cup, you have to toss the weights, and that's really not quite good for the equipment. Am I right or totally wrong?

i believe as long as you are getting adequate rest and progressively overloading you will see gains whether you are going to failure or not. But yes i do think going to failure will ultimately lead to incorporating more muscle fibers in the movement.

Also if it is a accessory movement like tricep push downs I would try to aim for 12 reps but if I get it too easily I would go for a few more reps, usuallyfor my compound hard working sets I get a RPE of 8-9

So I use specific set and Rep ranges as a relatively new lifter (1 year in January, but I still incorporate failure in the last set of at least one exercise per workout. Is that kinda what you mean?

i only stop short of failure on heavy compounds at the start of my workout, and truely feel on isolation exercises if you have adequate sleep, food, an rest before training again you cant overtrain

Call out silverback in tmisc. He strongly advocates leaving 1 rep in the tank for recovery purposes. It would be interesting to see you two go at it. Hes credible too. At least 315 bench

Well said, I also change the cadence on my reps, sets time under tension, half reps near the extended position and near the contracted, position all on how I feel

I reckon 2-3 amrap sets per trainning session should be ok but 85% of the workout shouldn't be hitting failure, that's my opinion anyway

On compound lifts I focus on progressive overload, don't include too much failure. Second exercise I will go to failure a couple of sets
