I had barely any rest in between sets just the time while my partner lifted and a few seconds additonal to that.

Contrary to what most have been led to believe, forced reps are counter productive to building muscle. They artificially fatigue the muscle, deplete muscle energy stores, and produce non-progressive overload just to name a few.
Between set recovery should last about 2 to 3 minutes. This amount of time allows the muscle to recover its intra-cellular energy stores and flush any lactate out of the muscle that's hanging around from the previous set to restore its anaerobic capacity.
I'd agree with that kind of RI if you were looking for a strength routine
3. The entire point of a dropset is to have nearly no rest between sets. To 'shock' the muscle.

Tell me something ... How do you know it worked ? Just because you feel soreness ?

Hmm... I know when I am sore it shows I did something right. Kind of a satisfaction thing. And just soreness is an understatement after one of those workouts

Wouldnt you agree that varying the exercises you do for each bodypart can 'shock' the muscle?
