    Yes, if you are able to do them in every exercise it means you are not training with enough intensity. A proper working set with dropset will bring muscle to failure.

    Muscles grow in response to new intensity, if you are any new to training any new intensity can promote a response, if you are advanced the muscle is already prepared and you need to bring the intensity to new levels.

    Dont confuse intensity with endurance. Endurance doesnt make big muscles, look at marathon runners.

    It's not really like i can use them in every exercise it's more like i use lighter weight after,so maybe i should do the main exercises with drop sets and that's all.

    Lighter weight = lower intensity = endurance training

    Its really hard to give training advice without being with you in the gym, the best advice I can give is to follow HIT (High Intensity Training) training principles, there is a vast amount of knowledge about it in Marcus thread here: **Marcus's HIT Dungeon** ...
