I've been reading the forum and other sites for a few days now, and it seems that some people swear by going to failure and the HIT method, but others don't. I'm just trying to understand. Buy going to failure you're totally exhausting the muscle. I thought this was good. By leaving a couple of reps in the tank, I think the muscle isn't fully trained to it's potential. Thats just my thoughts. Whats your logic behind not going to failure ?

Still haven't gone to physio, but just by the way I feel I wouldn't train them in the near future. I just got back on the bike (literally).
