To those of you who feel you've mastered pushing to true failure, do you get grindy reps no matter the exercise?

@jacob40524 I don't go to failure on Squats and Barbell OHP.
But Leg Extensions, Dumbell OHP, grind to death.
You have to understand going to failure on compounds without safety and spotter is a guaranteed way to get injured. But isolations are in general and you can just dump the weight. Also, grinding makes me feel like I did the work, and there was nothing more I could have even if someone was to put a gun on my head. Satisfaction Achieved.
 
@jacob40524 Training to failure every set of every day isn't hard, controlling yourself to leaves 1-3 reps in reserve for a few weeks before peaking and going to failure for a week is what's hard, and more effective.
