This is a concise video on the topic: "Is training to failure a good idea?" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6OwaUlX4Qic for context, RPE = rate of perceived exertion, on a scale of 1-10. RPE 10 being "I can't do another rep"

TLDR: training to failure isn't worth it for most people

These guys have world class experience and knowledge regarding health and training, highly recommend.
