Squatting to failure

[Scott Stevenson]

About to start FT tomorrow and doing basic tier one, think I’ll be fine as I’ve been training for a while but didn’t want to over reach - I can always move up if it’s not challenging enough.

Anyway, my thigh exercise for tomorrow is a BB squat, only one set in tier one. Thing is I train alone and it’s supposed to be to failure. I’m assuming that it’s fine to train to ‘one rep left’ and not complete failure?

What experience does everyone else have that trains alone/doesn’t have a spotter?

Thanks

I would squat in a safety / power rack with the safety bars at the bottom of your ROM so you can safely put the weight down at the end of the set.
