How stopping before reaching task failure can still produce (yet, NOT MAXIMIZE) hypertrophy, per working set.
In reality we know it comes all down to tension, and with tension I mean the amount of mechanical tensions that our fibers experience during the contractions.
If we take a set taken to true task failure as an example for the maximum amount of hypertrophy we can generate within a set, then it’s easy to understand how slightly less hypertrophy can be generated by shorting the set a little sooner.
In a sense, training to task failure is a “more efficient way” to train, but it shouldn’t be done too often if you don’t know how to structure the variables of your training program in the right way.
