Stimulus vs. Fatigue
More is not always better. To grow, you need to provide a stimulus (a reason for the muscle to change) without creating more fatigue than your body can repair.
Training "to failure" on every set creates massive fatigue but only slightly more growth. Science shows the "sweet spot" is doing enough work to challenge the muscle, but leaving enough in the tank to recover and get stronger next week.
Muscle isn't built in the gym; it's built during recovery. If you can't recover, you won't grow.
