    So Marcus you would say that doing drop sets with proper form and no sloppy reps is okay. But what about other methods like rest-pause. I recall that is how Ronnie Rowland injured one of his bicep tendons and are there methods you would advise against?
    Another similar example I recall Ronnie giving was say 1 person did 100lbs/8reps barbell curls then 95/8 and then 90/8 doing just straight sets... Then you have another person who does a triple drop set starting at 100lbs/8, 75/8 then 45/8. Who yields the best results? Obviously the first person lifts the most weight over all, So does the person who lifts less weight but performs the triple drop set get the best benefit or as you said Marcus.. "you implement an intense training method to force growth by over loading your muscles fibers"
    Ronnies answer would be whoever lifted the most weight would yield the best benefit which makes sense but both ways make sense.
    Is there any type of training methods You would advise against Marcus? Like would it be alright in your opinion to do a triple drop set on say decline bench press/squats/curls/abs?? Etc...? Or any other beyond failure method for that matter?

    Try and understand that there isn't one set way to train for best results, your going to have to try all these training methods and monitor yourself to see which one your body responds best to. Yes I am saying that drop setting with forced to negs is great for me and its been the platform what ive done for many years and for me I simply grow doing some form of HIT training designed to suit my body type and needs. I only implement very intense training when I am on cycle but when I am off or just on HRT I still incorporate this style but dont push beyond failure, I cant comment on Ronnie's injury because I wasn't there and ive no idea what he was doing but injuries are something serious bodybuilding go through and train around, yet again I said listen to your body and adapt a training style what builds the kind of muscle your looking for.

    I personally dont like volume training at all, but I know friends who build tissue and look great with this method but its not for me, i much prefer HIT style training and for me when I am feeling 100% and my mind set is to build some serious tissue I implement some serious intense training methods what push me beyond failure because that's what makes me grow more. Nothing is easy with bodybuilding weather that's eating,cycles or training, everything is intense and sometimes we have go through this to be better than the next man.

    Very true. Took me a long time to realise this.
