Drop setting: by marcus300

For better or worse, it's a method I learned when I first started lifting, although it probably should be reserved for seasoned lifters. In either case, it's always been a favorite of mine. My biceps NEVER get sore, but when I incorporate drop sets into my bicep workout, DOMS is inevitable every time!

Ive incorporate various training technique and I do like to swap them around but your correct DOMS does seem to be a regular occurrence of drop setting.

SO basically how long would you run DROP SET training for Marcus?

Also how many sets and exercises would you be aiming to hit then for chest for example using drop sets?

I would usually run for around 3 months after that I would normally get burnt out but that would depend on how intense aI run the drop sets.

I would normally only do 2 working sets per excercise, each working set would have 2 or even 3 dropsets built within it, from the example ive posted which is a basic dropset for chest you would do 3 chest excercises, incline,flat and fly - 2 working sets each excercise. Remember when you start your working sets after you have warmed up you go all out like your life depended on it.

Marcus, do you use the rest-pause technique at all? I'm curious to know how it holds up.

Of course, ive used them in the past and to this day. I always try and swap and change my workout program around. The RP protocol again builds some dense looking muscle which I like

I think one of the things we all must do is swap and change things around every now and again so we dont go stale, every technique as its place for building/shaping/pumping
