As a beginner I don't have much choice but to fail (quickly & often!), though failure can come in 2 forms that I know of...
a) I physically cannot do any more reps, say chin-ups, I just cannot get myself up for another rep. No more energy left, and dying. The last one saw me shaking, and there's no more lft in my. Im tring, but I'm stuck 1/4 of the way up. Finished.
b) My form starts sucking. I might get into the finish position 3 more times, but they are rubbish reps. Say barbell curls, I'll start leaning back to help swing the weight up, my biceps are no longer helping so whats the point?
I certainly don't get a choice whether to go on and hurt myself or not, but I can generally tell when Ive done my last rep (whether I like t or not) because I only just got there and/or my form was rubbish.
LOL your cns won't shut down before popping a shoulder or tearing a bicep.Your CNS should shut down before you come close to ripping things off...
Doesnt always happen but it should..
Balls to the wall - dont think so much

It will that's its job.
This. Failure training gets confusing when you do singles etc.
Try to get all the reps of the program. On assistance work on the last set if you feel you have another rep left in you get it out.
Have you ever injured yourself?
I've dislocated my shoulder more times than I care to remember. The first time about 5 years ago, I was in agony, sitting waiting for over an hour for a doctor to pop it back in. I don't recall my cns shutting down...
CrossFit is more about these dynamic movements. It would be interesting to know how much is “in reserve” centrally in terms of force production to individual muscles. In a complex lift, you’re only as strong as the weakest link. The brain seems to monitor these things so that one part does not fail catastrophically. (You’d hate to rip your forearm muscle in half just because your quads were capable of snatching some big weight after years of backsquats.)
From a short excursus on cns ability:
Crossfit is gay. Your response didn't answer my question. The cns does not shut down before an injury. Otherwise we wouldn't need hospital beds...
