      I don't go to failure every set because its bad for your CNS(researched).
      But I'll admit its great for building strength.

      I usually don't go to failure intentionally. For me i hit each muscle group 2x a week with 70-85% of my 1RM. I used to go to failure on almost every set and i was making very slow strength gains. Then i read an article written by kelechi opara on why going to failure too much is a bad idea as well as doing too many sets. I applied this too my training and now i'm making much better strength gains.

      "These results indicate that when intensity and volume are equated, failure or nonfailure training results in similar gains in lower body muscular endurance."

      "Furthermore, training to failure should not be performed repeatedly over long periods, due to the high potential for overtraining and overuse injuries."

      http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19997025
      "NRF group experienced larger gains in one- repetition maximum strength and muscle power output (4.6% and 6.4%, respectively) in BP compared with both 4RF (2.1% and j1.2%) and 2NRF (0.6% and -0.6%). 4NRF and 2NRF groups experienced larger gains in W 10 strokes (3.6% and 5%) and in W 20 min (7.6% and 9%) compared with those found after 4RF (-0.1% and 4.6%)."
