Session lasts about 45 to 60 minutes

All sets done to failure
So what do you guys think ? Am I on the right track ?

Cheers, Peter
training to failure all the time will not give you the results you want. Train to near failure, i.e., 1-2 reps still in the tank, will give you better results. As for your knees, what did the doc. say about exercising your legs.

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).
