How often do you work to failure?

[superqt4u2nv]

Recently I started working to near failure on some exercises mostly cause I am a stubborn as hell keep trying to increase the weight on my lifts. Which I was successful in today 20lbs on to my dead lift! I RULE!!
Anyways what about the rest of you do you work to failure?

5x5 lifts, no.

everything else, near failure or damn 100% complete shut down.

shouldn't this be in the training forum?

99% of the time on sets 3 and 4.

Every day. I'm thinking of changing things up for a while though.

Properly stimulate, not annihilate, going to failure on a consistent basis takes a toll on your joints and your nerves.

what sort of failure? eccentric failure?

i superset a lot and will go to concentric failure very frequently, static failure sometimes, but going full bore eccentric failure usually precipitates tendonitis and 'bad pain'. besides, i get good results already and im not going to overdo it
