Drop-Sets ARE UNNECESSARY 🙅‍♂️|Sam Sulek #Shorts #Samsulek

Hes not saying drop sets are bad. Hes saying if youre relying on drop sets for most of your progress, you might be using them wrong.

[Therealdudeman]

I like rest pause sets better.
You actually stay the same intensity and give 110%

[GeenoDaDonTV]

Drop sets are good depending on the workout

[giovanniamador]

I love it all! Variety is key for longevity

[briangoodman]

Couldn't agree more, they're a great finishing set to most exercises. Just can't go drop sets the entire sesh

[ipredictacatastrophe]

For a natural, drop sets once in 3 (if not 4) days are the way to go. I go to absolute failure within the max constraints and then I continue with a smaller weight and so on until I am failing with a 5 kg dumbbell. Then I do not touch it for at least two days.

[zacharyrodgers]

Idk I started using drop sets lately and have been seeing better progress than ever before, each time I go to the gym I make big progress despite only putting in like 30 minutes

[busmansam]

If you work out to look good i agree but ive learned theres a lot of reasons people work out so for extra endurence i think it can be good

[PickleThePig]

Everyone is different. No one is correct. Do what you want to do.

[MeowMatee]

Drop sets only help me w mind muscle connection or if I’m extra tired that day

[yaromalo]

I always do lat raises kinda heavy (12 reps) to failure and then half the weight and go super strict and slow till failure

I was actually completely against drop sets, but I looked up the data to argue with people in the comments and now I'm on the side of drop sets. "drop set standardized mean difference: 0.555, 95% CI 0.357–0.921, p < 0.0001; traditional set standardized mean difference: 0.437, 95% CI 0.266–0.608, p < 0.0001" and "There was no significant difference in hypertrophy measurements between the drop set and traditional training groups, but some of the drop set modalities took half to one-third of the time compared with traditional training." From ncbi
What I get from this is that drop sets did show a slightly larger gain in hypertrophy, but not statistically significant. However they took less time, so it makes more sense to do drop sets for hypertrophy. I train for strength, which is gained most from low reps, so I won't be incorporating them into my program, but it would be a good idea for people training hypertrophy.

[highkeyJORD]

I use dropsets primarily on lighter exercises like single arm tricep extension & lateral raises and have noticed an significant increase of muscle endurance, which isnt necessarily bad but could be signalling that there is my hypertrophy to be targeted with less reps and staying at my working weight

I had one full year of an 8-12 failure range. Hard as I go. Rest around 2 -4 minutes between sets upping the weight 3 excercises 3-4 sets per body part ~ compared to another year with drop sets gaint sets super sets with only one excercise per body part in the 8-12 range absolute failure … I looked my best grew my best had the best size and strength and saved my CNS so as to not be do run down with the tried and true 8-12 failure range (not including warm up cool down) diet the same … frequency the same … I truly believe feel and proved to myself how effective a few solo sets to absolute failure had so much more benifit. I would get my cardio in in other sessions or after the days training instead of thinking all that extra added reps would help with wind It did but sacrifices my build The only thing I noticed more definition come in with higher reps / super sets \ drops sets ~ legs After 2 big excercises of painful til failure in the 8-12 rep range of 2-3 sets each the rest was like a clean up a polishing Otherwise soo much inflammation Either way It’s really cool to test it out Play with it and see Do your pump checks after and slay after time consistently performing the style of training Inflammation will kill a look When the CNS is so taxed it shows that being says Why the hell did I do drop sets on shoulders yesterday? Today feeling wrecked? I didn’t learn … thanks for the thought Sam what works Works why change it?

I find a drop set “by feel” rather than structure is rhe way to go

[Seabee]

Idk man, I walk away from drop sets and not only drop, but forced reps as well feeling way more destroyed when I'm pushed beyond total failure instead of more sets.
I over trained for years and wasted so much time doing more sets. 1 or 2 sets to failure is plenty.
But then there's myo matching sets.
Also depends on the meso cycle but again it's different for non enhanced training.
When you're enhanced, you're able to push for more sets and still stimulate growth.
Feel it out, do what's right for your intensity and training style, don't listen to every you tuber out there.
Do your own research, make it your own. Have fun

[hjdeheer]

I like to do these dropsets on my last working set on a movement, in my third set i hit failure, drop the weight, failure again, drop the weight even more and go until I cant no more :)

[dustinschafer]

Love drop sets to finish off triceps (my weak point) Go from cable pulldowns to cable pushdowns with a v bar. 4 sets to failure +3 going down 2 plates each set with 0 rest between. Makes that 1/2 plates feel like the whole stack

[potta]

I couldn’t be arsed in the slightest. Iv been training years and hated every minute of it. I just take peds and do a few 20 minute work outs a week. Still look good

[etphonehome]

I do drop sets and pause sets. I do a warm up and then go as heavy as i'm able to as much as i can till failure pushing to the top then sitting there for 4-5 seconds then going slower back down.
