So lets say I up the weight to 65lbs. What if I can do the first set of 8 reps but that means I have to go to failure to accomplish that? Isn't this still training to failure?

Before I would curl 80lbs for 8 reps, rest, then curl till failure again, usually 6 reps. I have mostly trained this way but like you say I have become frustrated and not motivated because of this style I feel. I am trying to get my head into training as you suggested but i find it hard to grasp because of always training all out. I want to try this type of training for a while to see what suits me better. Do you know of anymore articles that advocate this type of training?
