2x failure is better than 3x12?

[Kei_TheTrueAdam]

Ive been seeing this a lot lately, should I stop doing 3 sets of 12 reps and start doing 2 sets till failure? Would this increase muscle and strength gain?

If your form is ideal (which it rarely is) and your workout plan matches the necessary frequency, 2-3 sets of 5-8 reps, close to or to failure (but not beyond), should be ideal for most people.
It can vary slightly depending on the muscle group/ exercise/ individual genetics...

If you are a beginner, 12 is probably better to learn the correct movements first, and strengthen neural efficiency.
