    It is indeed a good idea to start with an heavy set and drop from there; however, 2 proper warm-up sets and a feel set should be performed in order to both avoid possible injuries and establish mind-muscle connection before administering the heavy set.

    This will shock your muscles and force them to grow, especially considering that you have never employed this sort of training before.

    I did this in my 2nd year of lifting and results were beyond my wildest expectations. I left the gym with my muscles pumped like a baloon without the aid of steroids at the time.

    so is this something that i can do one week of and the other regular pyramids? or can i just do straight drop sets for weeks? also, what are the rep ranges on a 4 set excercise?

    Do it straight for 4 weeks and change it up.

    Rep ranges largely depends on the muscle group you are training.
