    I agree, you shouldn't be missing reps in training. You should be have structured progression within your capabilities. Only time you should miss a rep is if you're testing at a meet, or if you don't compete, just when you're testing.

    I agree and disagree.
    I think you don't want to miss reps on a single or double rep set but...
    If you are doing a burnout set after doing your heavy sets then going to failure is fine in my book.
    What you don't want to do is go to failure on a set and then try to hit a heavy single. That is just silly.
