to failure on which set?
Lets say I'm doing any compound excercise of 3 sets, the first being 55% of my max and on up to 85% on my 3rd. If I do 6-10 on this excercise do I go to failure on just the last set?

I set my weights that I fail at a certain rep or so..
4 - 6 range, 8 - 1 0 range, etcSuccess leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results

I cant really go to failure as of yet because I'm just starting out, but am looking for as much information as I can get so I have a plan with a structured workout so my head isn't spinning. So from what I hear so far from most of you is yes, train to failure on every set?

find out thru time where you would fail at a certain weight.
Just for an example:
bench press:
if you can do 135 lbs for more than 10 - 12 reps, it is too light,you should adjust the weight (heavier) so that you cannot do more than 10 -12 good reps. Trial and error.Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results
