I have a question /fit/.
Say i workout a muscle group failure right?
Do something like 4x6 and 5th set is til failure.
Then i continue doing the rest of my workout and after i'm done, i come back to the muscle group i did til failure and do the same thing once again.
Wouldn't it theoretically be better because i broke down more muscle because after resting for a bit i can work out again but not to my fullest but i can continue tearing muscles.
yes no?why?

Yes, you would be tearing more, but whether that's a good or bad thing is a different story.
If you're natty and work out said muscle group 2 or 3 times a week then you probably don't want to fucking annihilate it since it'll never heal in time for the next workout.
If for whatever reason you're doing a bro split (please don't) then you can go a lot higher on the volume, but the benefits would only be marginal at best unless you're juicing.

Recovery and growth are not the same thing.
You can recover for weeks if you work out hard enough, but you can only grow for 1-2 days (naturally) regardless.
The key to progress is to get enough volume to cause the best growth, and no more.
This is why bodybuilding splits exist, because elite guys need a lot of volume to grow, and thus more recovery time. Its a compromise between growth and recovery, and its also the reason why doing a bodybuilding split as a beginner is retarded, because you don't need that much volume to grow as a beginner.
