While I cannot speak for Milo, note that my lengthy response regarding logic
and the scientific method were in response to someone else, not you.

There is no evidence that training to failure is necessary to recruit Type
IIb fibers. Actually, most evidence indicates that motor unit recruitment
is maximal at around 80% 1 RM (even less depending upon the muscle group),
and increases in force production beyond that point are due to changes in
the firing rate of motor neurons.

I never said that it didn't work for me. I stated that it got me from about
130 to about 165 but never beyond that.
