If you're in it for aesthetics I think a combination of failure and non-failure work is fine. Like travis said you still want to maximize volume of work (because you need enough at heavy enough weight to create microtears in your muscles for your body to heal and get bigger), but you also need to go to failure to stimulate all fibers. I am a fan of lifting VERY heavy though to hit the most musculature with most/all of the recruitable fibers in the muscles; thus, 1-5 RM for heavy compounds... then finish off with isolation work in 5-12 rep range if aesthetics is the goal. | ||

You could try shorter amount of reps and higher sets with more weight. | ||

And you don't need spotters for curls/back extensions, you just drop the weight. | ||

^Yeah, it depends on where the pain is but if it's something important like back I wouldn't push it. | ||
