Sounds like something I do from time to time. Set weight at 4RM-5RM, do one rep, wait 5 seconds, do one rep, wait 5 seconds, continue to failure.
He's right in that you really, REALLY need to have a few years' experience. 100% muscle activation will do serious damage to tendons, joints and cartilage if you haven't lifted enough and long enough for them to grow stronger.

thats not quite what he is suggesting, he suggests using weights that allow 8-12 and instead of resting 5 seconds and doing 1 rep, you do 1 full set to 1 rep below failure so that could be 10 reps, you then rest 20 seconds and do another 3 or so, wait 20 seconds and do another 3 etc etc

its interesting reading because i know a lot of it is definitely sound theoretically, whether it works better than other methods i dont know, but people say doggcrapp training gets very good results and this is a similar thing except instead of using failure as the goal, its more about auto regulation.

Yeap, same goal as what I mentioned, keeping your muscles close to, but not quite at, failure for as long and as many reps as possible. It's just that my pattern is one rep per five seconds, and his is 3 reps per 20 seconds. I found using the heavier weight works better for me, as the muscles are already used to the 8-12RM weight and the heavier weight seems to 'shock' them better. I usually get about 14 to 18 reps in one set, and one set like that is all I do per muscle/group.
