I really want to force some good growth ans I am willing to go balls to the wall at the gym, but I just don't want to over train. What can you guys say from experience?
You should be going to failure on every exercise, I hit failure every set the first couple being lighter higher rep to failure getting a feel, and the ill load it up for the next couple of sets hitting failure around 6-8 and then depending on the exercise drop set it.
Why would you not go to failure those last couple of reps is what sets those who make progress and those who don't apart. That's where muscle is built so to speak. Failure or nothing for me and I don't have problems with recovery on or off doing so.
