But if u did it until failure, u will only reach like 12-13 and ur second set wont get as far as 8 and ur 3rd like only...3-4? So, reps of a decent amount is best. Hope i helped :) No, that could be bad (depends on the weight and muscle trained)

For arguments sake, when initiating your workout it's probably best you don't jump straight into a set where you lift until failure. Warm up with high repetitions so that you can promote blood flow and warmth. Once the initial warm up is complete, you can then start incorporating heavier sets. You don't HAVE to train to failure, but you should still train relatively intense in order to breakdown muscle tissue. Combine the two. That's my advice. That way you get the best of both worlds.
