Default How Many Exercises and Sets Do I Perform for my Strength Training?

NO. This is really bad advice. NEVER lift to failure. You will injure
yourself. Can you imagine a newby trying tto squat to failure. recipe
for a broken back. Or trying a bench press to failure - broken neck!

DONT DO IT.


How about qualifying this with never do it unless you are an experienced
weightlifter? With the exception of my shoulders and scapular area, I
almost always work to failure and have been for years while under the
tutelage of a very experienced personal trainer.

I'd say never do it until you've been working out a long time, are sure you
have correct form, and in most cases someone around to spot you.
