do you use failure as a guide to know if you are using enough weight in your prescribed rep range. like doing 6-8 rep range should i hit failure before the 8th rep is this the correct way to use a rep range.and on the next sets should i just go to failure?

Well thats what I USED to think, but after some research I've seen people say that if you train to failure day in and day out it really plagues your central nervous system. So I guess 6-8 means it should be VERY difficult but yet not require a spotter between 6 and 8 reps....
