WHAT IS A 'SET'?
My first disagreement: By definition, a set is to failure (or when you feel you can't do one more full repetition). If it is not to failure, it is not a set.
There are similar techniques offered by others that do not take set to failoure.
The most distinguished researchers with American Society of Sports Medicine has called those 'sets' as 'warm ups', 'wastage of time', and resulting in little benefit.
I will take next point in my next thread.
