Drop sets

[MoralMan]

I m sure I've reached a plateau in my training and was thinking of trying out drop set s having never tried this seemingly popular method of training. Would getbiggers recommend this form of training based on personal experiences?

it's like anything else give it a shot for a couple months if it works continue till it stops working..... if it doesn't work drop drop sets for something that does, like reg's park's 5x5 routine.

I recommend "rowing" the bar down to your chest as you try to "rip the bar apart".

When squatting, make sure to "spread the floor" with your feet.

If you mean by drop set is that you lay on a bench hold the bar over your throat then drop it, then yes, I advise drop sets.

How have you never tried a drop set?  Have you been only working out for a month?  usually when you hit a plateau if just means you need to up your dosage a bit.

Maybe he was too busy "shocking the muscle".

Go back to a basic 3 exercise powerlifting route for a while.

Also on the negative, visualize you are compressing a spring.

Do legs on chest day,back on leg day and shoulder on rest days it will help confuse the muscle

[Mr Anabolic]

IMO, they work best for side laterals.

Also helps to bring dice to the gym with you, roll them and whatever you get is how many reps you do.

If you are natty just do it for one set with a body part thats lagging. Those intensity techniques can quickly burn you out.
I like dropsets with lateral raises/calves since those muscle never really get indirect work (unlike biceps or front delts for example).

Don't forget to dig your shoulders into the bench, flare your lats, and squeeze your clavicles together...

Best advice ever.

I lIke this one

[local hero]

I used to use them when going heavy.. If your getting low reps it feels great to rip a plate off each side and rep out
