Fittaylor is on a distinguished road
It's definitely important when going to failure to have a spotter. There are a few different types... one is at the weight your lifting when you physically can't lift that much any more for another rep. Or you can go to total momentary failure where you fail with a weight then QUICKLY drop about 10% of that weight and do more reps and keep droping each time you hit failure. This pushes more and more fibers to work.
Failure workouts are great but very stressful, I would only do them once every few weeks to stay healthiest.
