Congrats on finding this board! The first thing I'll tell you is don't believe an article you read in these rags. Some may be true but for the average Joe there's no way for you to know.

If you are looking to drop some lbs then you need to read the stickies in the diet section. You will learn a lot here if you're willing to put the time in.

Dropsets should not be used by beginners. You just need to train hard in the gym, as well as focus on proper diet and the inclusion of some cardio work in your program.
