Which intensity techniques are good while on gear?

Do you ever bother doing intensity techniques after bringins sets to a failure? E.g. partial reps at the end? Super set? drop weight and squize some more reps? What about negative reps and forced reps?

Which ones are better for gaining mass and which for ripping and definition?

I like forced reps for my last set of an exercise

my thoughts on such techniques are that they should not be used on a regular basis, gear or no gear.

occasional use of heavy negatives (with a spotter of course) can be helpful at times, but in general forced reps can be neurologically and physically harmful. Although you may be able to bypass CNS overtraining via forced reps on gear, you still put your joints/ligaments in jeopardy.
