Don’t take as many sets to failure. You’ll probably make more progress that way anyway.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
To get stronger, recover faster and have more energy when you finish training, consider doing more sets, lower reps and NOT training to failure (not forever; to failure training has its place too).
I definitely have found that if I avoid going to muscular momentary muscular failure as it's called, far less soreness, far better recovery and you get really strong, which is crazy. You would think the opposite.
That's interesting. So if so, like so bench pressing for example, so like that's actually the only weight that I move around is I I I bench like when I'm at home and have like my own little home gym, I uh bench press like twice a week, let's say.
