how often do you guys like to use dropsets when your traning

**Double D** · 02-21-2007, 07:50 PM

I never use them when training for strength, but for hypertrophy I throw them in now and then. I really like them on dips!

**kinkery** · 02-21-2007, 07:57 PM

if your training for hypertrophy you could do them every few workouts just to shock the muscle for a change.

Not really a big fan of them. At times i think they just set you up for injury.

on little things they are pretty safe, cable tri pushdowns etc. Doing them on things like deadlifts is just not smart.

I agree.

I'll do them very rarely for single joint stuff. Even then, I wonder if they do any good.

I've always done drops for side laterals. After 2-3 sets of drops my shoulders are pretty burnt. Calves are also a good one to use them on.

ya but ur not saposed to us them every time u lift its ok to use them like every 2 weaks but not every time u train

For the majority of people I agree with you. I've lifted for 13 years and know what works for me. Training is diff for everybody.

I use them when I see I'm running short on time, dropsets and supersets.

I have had great success using dropsets when I use to do isolation work in my newbie days, but I haven't done them since I adopted compound movement training.
