How often should you train to FAILURE?

“Do you train until failure every set?” No, and honestly you really shouldn’t. Taking a set to true muscular failure creates a lot of fatigue, and even though it’s more conducive to hypertrophy, it’s gonna take much longer to recover from. So instead of going balls to the wall on every set every single session, I recommend leaving anywhere from 1-4 reps in reserve, so that you train close enough to failure to benefit from hypertrophy, but you’re not creating nearly as much fatigue. Then every so often, you can take a few sets to failure to gauge how hard you need to be working, and to make sure that those 1-4 reps you have left in the tank are actually close enough to your true failure to be meaningful.
