training to failure beneficial or no?

[pridecommitment]

how many of you train to failure on every set except warmups?

i've read this can be too taxing on your Central nervous system and is unnecessary? can anyone chime in on this

personally my split looks like this...working great just not trying to overtrain i've noticed my bench has stalled a bit at 295

yes it can be.. if it works for you then keep with it. Training to failure is okay to do sometimes, but if you overdo it it can cause more harm than good.

Do you have any de-load weeks?

Do you alter your training routine in any way, intensity, volume or exercises?

Do you take any planned breaks from training?

I think it's good to lift to failure but not on every set

no I often miss judge military presses though and go to failure by mistake. But I try and avoid it as much as I can

I love training to failure. Its when failing helps you succeed.

I primarily train to failure, especially on bench. I find that it's the best way for me to break plateaus.
