To grow you must recover completely between workouts. This means days of rest between heavy workouts.
You have to train inside a structured plan of action, however inside that plan is a goal of constant change and progression. You must lift heavier weights. You must get stronger.
Training to exhausten is not needed to improve. Training super hard and over working your nervous system is not needed. What is needed is "training hard enough" to IMPROVE. That is hard enough.
You train for several months one way, then switch for several months to a different training structure.
Each workout should be similar to, but different from, the last.
Consider doing more reps or performing several reps of a different nature during a set. Try something different each and every workout.
You have to keep the body guessing.
Don't use this as an excuse to overtrain.
