If you frequent the gym you likely fall into a few categories as they relate to how you look, how you feel, and how you perform. Those who desire to look good want bigger muscles and those who into sports peformance want strength. If you read the fitness magazines you realized that most recommend pushing weight until fatigue but now some research says that depends.
Those who seek to gain muscle should move into 0-5 reps of failure while those who want to gain strength should work toward heavier loads but 3-5 reps of default.
For Bigger Muscles Push Close to Failure, For Strength, Maybe Not
