Is there a big difference between

having a spotter and killing yourself through failure reps,

vs.

training alone and setting up your weight/reps so that you are on the brink of failure but barely finish your last rep

 

[goin on 4T]

Yes spotter is best, second best is to rep out then drop the weight just a little and rep out again and again dropping weight each time.

"best" is sometiems such a relative term.

the other way you can look at this is that if you know your limits and set yourself up to go just to the brink of failure and barely finish your last rep then you might be at less risk for injuring yourself...and you still trained damn hard.

As for drop sets...I'd rather do a rest-paused set!

Or go to failure on machines (hammer, smith, etc.) then ask someone for a spot on other stuff. I train alone and just ask for a spot if I need it.

if you eat junk right before a workout, does the workout burn it all up or can it still make you fat?
