Anyone else hate going to failure on pull days?

I’m posting this in offtopic cuz no one uses the fitness section anymore, it says it has like only 7k posts but anyways


I hate going to failure on pull day because you could still get out like 10 half reps before official failure which is just unnecessary cardio and strain. Meanwhile push day is good because when doing exercises where your pushing outwards you can’t really squeeze out half reps so it’s easy to know if you actually went to failure.

Anyone else agree?

Isn’t sbl the idea of low intensity high rep? If not sorry

no its high intensity high frequency low volume/reps tbh you can get the same stimulus in rep ranges 5-30 but lower reps are going to be less fatiguing as the last 5 reps in a set 0 rir are the ones that actually provide the stimulus for growth and the other 25 reps in a 30 rep set are somewhat mostly fatigue

Interesting. For me I do 6-8 reps for everything but I make sure that 6-8 reps is failure so like if I can do like 10-12 reps on a weight I’m doing I’ll add up the weight
