Lifting weights till failure

Sorry if I sound dumb but is lifting till failure means you don’t do sets just lift till you can’t no more.

If that is the case my question is that for example if I’m lifting till failure on a hammer curl and my next workout is a concentration curl would my workout failure doing the hammer curl make it harder to do the concentration curl.

Any advice would be appreciated.

There's different types of failure, I'd say. There's drop sets (doing x amount of reps on a weight, make the weight 10% lighter and doing x amount of reps again...and so on and so on), there's failure with a rep and then partial reps (use less plain of movement) until you can't do no more.

With you biceps, there's 2 different muscles - as the name implies - and those 2 exercises work different muscles at a time, or should I say more emphasis.

You can increase your rest period, if you're tiring...and, of course, use correct form when doing the exercises.

The best way to see whatever works for you is to try it.

Remember to warm up first...
