Hello all,
I don’t often see barbell med folks advocating for training to failure. Training to failure is often touted as an important tool for hypertrophy gains. Is there ever an appropriate/necessary time to go to failure in a program (excepting max attempts) if you are training for hypertrophy or any other goal?
Despite being touted as an important tool for hypertrophy gains, it is not, in fact, an important tool for hypertrophy gains.

Could you distinguish myoreps in the hypertrophy program from going to failure? Based on the explanation in the sheet I interpreted that the sets of 3-5 are done until you fail to make reps on one.
Until you are unable to perform within 1 repetition of your first back off, which is not really failure.
