Well going to failure is a debatable topic amongst the pro's. Some see it as the best way for hypertrophy and some see it as the opposite. I personally like to go to near failure with a max set some place in each workout (whether it be a 1RM or 3RM)

If you are looking for max strength out put I would say take a longer Rest Interval (RI). This will allow your muscles and centeral Nervous system time to fuire again. A 3 minute RI is great for max loading and strength.null
