Has there ever been an (documented) instance where someone had great genetics to build muscle without drugs but once they added them it didn't do much?
Must be (lots). But you don't hear about these again. Check the new pro's over the years...

I think what he was trying to say with that statement is that taking every set to failure will lead to burn out and missed workouts.

Bill Pearl stated the same thing but he was direct to the point. He said don't train to failure. I interpret that is if your doing volume and your first bicep exercise is 5 sets of 8 reps only the last or the last two sets should approach failure.

Just think if you wanted to be a good runner. Would every single day in training be an attempt at breaking a personal record?  That would be insanity yet many weight trainers attempt it.

It is still not pertinent to the discussion of muscle hypertrophy though. Why do we keep talking about training methods when we know traning is one of the least important aspects for muscle hypertrophy. Training simply breaks the muscle down, that is all, once it is broken you cannot break it any further at that point. It does not matter how you break the muscle down and training does not build muscle anyway. Only proper nutrition and increase in protein synthesis resulting from higher doses of PEDS can make that happen and that is only in relation to what your genetics will allow.

Surely we can see this by now can't we and get over discussing nonesene training methods that have zero impact on results?

You obviously don't know much about hypertrophy. You haven't paid your dues so rely on drugs. Please don't post your nonsense here. You are NOT an expert so reading online isn't going to educate you.
