so how do I know its time to make progress or add weight on that exercise load set( barbell row) if I never take myself to failure??

What would be the reasons for doing it that way, versus another way (say, boing lighter for the same number of reps, or even closer to 12 reps)?...

isn't the goal to get stronger. bigger???
so 2 sets of 315 for 10-12 rps short of failure will actually induce more growth than 1 set of 315 x 10 and 1 of 365 x 8??
