Reply With QuoteI dont have much opinion either way (other than probably not doing it all the time), but someone who probably knows what he's doing (from 140 pounds or something to nearly 300), says that he doesnt' believe in drop sets, but rather rest-pauses. i.e., rest 15 seconds, go again, and then finishes with a 15 second or so negative.

burning out all the time
I'm really trying to go for size and strength now, and I'm a very big fan of burning out. I do it on every exercise and have been for a while. But I was wondering if this is the best way to get size and strength? A typical exercise for me goes like this;
warm up - 12 reps
middle set - 8 reps
last set - 1 or 2 reps, drop the weight in half and burn out.
What do you guys think?If god were suddenly condemned to live the life which he has inflicted on man, he would kill himself.

I've been trying going something more like this lately:
1st set = 4-6 reps (failure)
2nd set = 4-6 reps (failure)
3rd set = 3-5 reps (failure) + drop 10-20lbs and fail withink 3-4 reps
It feels alot harder and I've been able to move up in weights more than I ever have any other way."When I use the word intensity I mean the ability to continue past and through the pain barrier where your mind pleads to stop and in fact convinces your body that you have hit failure, but you push through. How far you push through that barrier is the level of intensity with which you train." -- Twin Peak

Know what ya mean bro, that's why I'm a bit hesitant to stray from the burn out. Thought I'd get everyone's input before I did.Originally posted by dvlmn666

I've been doing the "Rest-Pause" thing that Mudge mentioned lately and I've also found it better than drop sets.
I find that drop sets don't always "kill" the muscle but rather tire me out and I Fail more because of being exhausted rather than muscle failure.
Of course it depends on the exercise to.Cool
