Researchers recruited two groups of men for the study—all of them experienced weight lifters—who followed a 12-week, whole-body protocol. One group lifted lighter weights (up to 50 per cent of maximum strength) for sets ranging from 20 to 25 repetitions. The other group lifted heavier weights (up to 90 per cent of maximum strength) for eight to 12 repetitions. Both groups lifted to the point of failure.
Is fatigue the same as failure? If not how do you determine you are fatigued?“At the point of fatigue, both groups would have been trying to maximally activate their muscle fibres to generate force,”
Hi Madman, here's a question for you.
How does one determine their maximum strength? Without injury trying to find out?

That sounds like a recipe for injury for this old guy. Do you even warm up? What is the process stack 3 45's on each side of a smithy and pray? hahaMaximum strength is determined by your one rep max. Failure means you can't perform another rep in good form.
