High Volume vs Heavy Weight

The only issue with training to failure when it comes to squats is that your last rep before failure increases your risk of staying in the squated position until someone can rescue you from underneath the barbell.

That is why you have spotter bars in your power rack. And if you drop the weight on the spotter bars, stand up quickly and let out a manly scream people will think its part of the show.

all these years I thought it was for sitting when you are tired to help build up energy while looking at gym babes in their tight gym lycra pants.

One thing is clear when it comes to all these options, in my opinion: if you are genetically blessed pretty much anything works - I suppose to a point of course. I have mates who look at a barbell and gain muscle whereas those with kak genetics, like myself, have to bust my backside, do drop sets, failure sets, be creative with angles to get gains - to add I look at cake and get fat - doesn’t help. All comes down to experimenting, logging and seeing what works for you.
