Should I go to failure?

In one word--no. The keys to hypertrophy in HST do not include going to failure. However, a few trainees do go to failure on the last set of each microcycle although it is not necessary for growth. The reason that going to failure at each workout or set is contra-indicated is because:

"Neurological exhaustion isn't necessary for hypertrophy. [Although,] It may.... help build strength in undertrained individuals. On the last workout of each two week block an individual should be training at their [pre-figured] maximum for that rep range. Lots of people like to slow the tempo of the sets during the preceding workouts in order to make the last few reps more difficult. This is just fine because it is not the fatigue that is important (stopping short of forced reps of course). It is the mechanical load that is important. How heavy it is, not how heavy it feels."(Bryan Haycock, Thinkmuscle.com, Forum-- "going to failure once every two weeks?")

Since going to failure presents us with the problem of "neurological eshaustion," we would like to avoid failure and hence the overtraining that could occur with its use.
