Since i was 16 i read Mike Mentzer's HIT book and always felt training to failure was the way to go. Made sense because your muscles would grow when overloaded, the go hard or go home mentality sounded so fucking badass and anything less seemed i wasnt hardcore enough.
Last few months i have been reading on CNS overload and how leaving a rep or two in the tank might be beneficial. I increased my sets and tried stopping every set with a lil bit left. All of a sudden i feel way better. The gains are coming again. Yes you can argue that my body liked the change or MAYBE i was overtraining before but do any of you feel that training to failure sabotages our gains???
