Is RPE killing gains? Are RP reps worthy?

This is a quote from Mike Israetel.

“If you take every set to 3 RIR you’ll probably get 95% of the gains, 2 RIR 97%, 1 RIR 99%.”

FYI Mike Israetel’s entire training method goes to shit the second he verifies the litany of data that says training to failure is more effective than leaving reps in reserve.

For Anyone Not Yet Convinced on Failure Training

[The Latest Science on Training to Failure | Educational Video | Biolayne] Skip to 4:20 for hypertrophy. Cliff notes: Compounds RIR 1-2, possibly only to failure on last set of exercise. Isolations RIR 0, but with training specificity applied. *Also points to research that says estimated RIR are consistently underestimated. To such a degree that if you believe you’ve got 1 rep in the tank, you probably have 5 left.
