If you train really heavy for at least one movement on each body part, going down to the 2 rep range, wouldn't you get basically the same benefit? For that matter, every time you go to failure on a set and really try to make that last rep, even going to partial reps and rest/pause reps, you should be getting that same benefit, i.e. pushing really hard against a weight that you can't move.
Everybody except first-day beginners should be training to failure. At least on the last set of every exercise.
Although I'll admit that I don't know the difference between training ligaments and training muscles/tendons.
