Most of my sets are done at 1–2 reps in reserve (RIR). That means the set is very challenging, but I stop just before form breaks down. This allows me to: -Maintain high-quality execution -Recover well week to week -Progress loads and reps consistently -Keep joints and CNS healthy Sets I do take to true failure are many isolation exercises that are safe and effective to do so (hamstring curls, abductions, kickbacks, lateral raises etc) Strategy is important with volume, % to failure & quality
