Do you know your 1RM?

I do everything to failure. DC isn't to failure... it is PAST failure.

The only way to squat to failure is to do it in a cage.

nope.....my guess is around 280 to 300...but thats just a guest. I really need to add deadlift as well.

I guess you were refering to his 1x4-8, 1x20 leg routine. I disagree that this is past failure. Take squats for example. the first heavy set you do on your own and stop when you fail. The second high rep set is basically a realization that the failure point on legs with say a weight you can get 10+ times is very high. You can actually go to 20+ although you cross a pain threshold you never crossed in gym before

Past failure is forced reps with a partner IMO

my legs (well quads) were their strongest and most powerfull when i squatted 8 sets of 2-3, every second day.

I just waved the load usually medium - heavy - light. and going by feel. If the heavyday seemed beyond reach i would lower the weight. The light day might have been really light

I would take a break for a couple days if i needed it.
