    why do you think... muscle mags...tell people that training methologies like rest-pause..forced reps.... drop sets, changing exercises... annilating body parts changes shape and enhanced muscle size beyond straight-sets??

Annilating body parts changes shape and enhanced muscle size beyond straight-sets?? you cannot change the shape of your muscles, only enhance what you are born with. Muscle magazines do have some good information in them from time to time but they are mostly written with an intent to sell. Some people tend to get impatient with their progress and out of desperation they jump on every new training technique that is written about even though they are not as effective as staying with straight sets. The younger generation in particular actually believe a lot of this hogwash that is written. I run into this at gyms very very often.

    If various training methods beyond straight sets had the ability to help people break plateaus then i would be encouraging everyone to do a different training method each time they walked into the gym. In a nutshell, the human body does not operate that way and anyone who believes it does needs to get honest with themselves. The best basketball players in the world shoot the ball using the same technique over-and-over again. The best quarter backs, punters and field goal kickers in football use the same techniques over- and- over again. It's their consistency, genetic ability,determination and perseverance that make them a champion and the same rule applies to bodybuilding! straight sets are always the absolute best way to make a muscle grow. obtaining a massive temporary blood pump with methods like strip sets is not comparable in terms of stimulating the type-2 muscle fibers!

You may try syntherol like everyone else uses to bring up lagging body parts for competition time. Pre exhaustion, one light, one heavy, drop sets, rest pause, pause rest, 5 times a week, no times a week, it will never change it, so focus on things you can change."
