Too much adaptation to any one approach.
You need to stay with it long enough to get the “juice in the orange.” But not so long that your body adapts to the approach.

If you’re progressively overloading, it’s pretty irrelevant unless you’ve made all the adaptations for those fibers and or MU. Different movements would be better than different rep ranges I think

I’m sorry but no f’ing way is someone taking a pendulum squat to failure and repeating it on the second set. You do not train to failure take that how you want. Pendulum squats to failure are brutal.
Same thing with a press. Triceps would not recover. Maybe with a row and that is because people have terrible form and start jerking the weight.

True failure is often misunderstood… I’ve never tried it on the Pendulum but have on leg extensions. PRE is what stops most people shy of true task failure. The Panatta Pendulum is my favorite
With respect, you don’t know what you’re talking about…Triceps not recovering from 1 set…lol…All leg training is hard, not just pendulums when done to failure, doesn’t mean people can’t do 2 decent failure sets.
