Cheers for the comment, I'm taking this week off the gym and reading up as much as I can. The general consensus seems to be to avoid training to failure, something that is probably going to be challenging at first. I'm going to avoid failure completely and start relatively low and just build up the weight each week keeping reps the same until I plateau and eventually hit failure, take a week off then drop weight back down and start again. See if I see any gains and see how the body holds up.
