    ^^im not trying to flame or discredit the fact that you workout with BB's either... but lets face it youve psoted that you do 22 sets of delts... i do between 6-9 sets and grow beyong belief.. i think you should rethink your training and try ronnies slingshot training and start working at 100 percent intensity with about 1/3rd-1/4th the amount of sets you currently perform

    My delts and Chest have grown so much in the past 6 weeks it is almost unreal!! I have stretch marks 6-8" long and 1/2 wide! 5- on each side all new i the last weeks! So the workout I am doing is doing something compared to what I used to do! and going to Failure Every set IS in my book Overtraining! Ehy if it works for you Great But I Know Powerlifters, And Bodybuilders and none of them go to failure every set! As I said before going to failure on the last 2 maybe 3 sets of a bodypart is what is normally done! I know many powerlifters who do not ever go to failure! and they only do 2-4 reps per set even if they could do 6 reps! It is all about the exercises and which parts of the muscle head you hit! Trust me bro I am not new to this! I am 34 and have been training and reading for 22+ years! I was benching 310 @ 15 years old and my friend still to this day hold the high school bench press record for the entire USA! I can literally get as strong as I want and I I have benched well over 400# naturally with mediocre diet! I would honestly say I know as much as 30-40% OF THE CPT's out there just never bothered getting my Cert. As I said if failure on every set works for you more power to ya but as i said I have personally worked out with top 5 Olympia contenders (and MR.O) and WSM contestants and have never once seen any of them go to Fail on all sets! Basically my theory is this... IF they are the best in the business and they dont do it, Then neither do I, cause if it could help them , they would be all over it! Dont you agree!
