training to failure

marckozman Posts: 14 Joined: 2005/04/24	2005/08/18, 02:38 PM when training to failure should all exercises of the specific workout be done to failure or should only one of the exercises be done to failure. ex. chest work out bench press 12,8,6,4 incline bench press 12,8,6,4 decline bench press 12,8,6,4 should all 3 be done to failure? should one set of each exercise be done to failure? should one whole exercise be done to failure? if anybody has insight let me know

Trining to failure....is putting a fairly moderate weight on the bar... and doing that till muscle failure. Like football programs...use 225....you do that till you fail.....record i think is 45times -------------- Friends don't let friends squat high...
