Sorry, I disagree with this statement. It only takes 80%-85% to recruit all fibers. I'm not sure where your getting your information from, please post links...Here is one about fiber recruitment. I've already linked to it in the 2nd post of this thread.

I would like to add though. Training to failure does serve a purpose. I'm not saying NEVER train to failure, but rather dont train to failure every set.
