Again, it shows that a person shouldnt take 1 study and base everything on it because there are always other studies refuting that study.

I guess....well i've quoted 1 study, and a link to a thread that quoted about 4 other studies...
All repeated failure will do is overtrain your CNS, teach your muscles they cant lift, and cause you to lose gains or at best keep your gains to a minimal.
Look at a high jumper. Bear in mind I know nothing of the sport so take what I say here with a grain of salt. But if he practices trying to jump over a bar 20 feet in the air and fails all the time, he'll never make it. However if he practices lower and successfully hits his goal and raises the bar a little each time, always hitting goal, his body will adapt and learn what forces/balance/angles are neccessary to be successfull.
