Drop Sets vs Normal Sets for Muscle Growth

Рет қаралды 905,575

Күн бұрын

When it comes to the quest of maximizing muscle growth, a variety of different training methods are often employed. One popular training method, drop sets, are a perfect example. First off, what are drop sets? Drop sets simply involve performing one or more sets with a lighter weight immediately after you finish your heavy set. You can do drop sets for arms, chest, back, and so on - you could even do a whole drop set workout if you wanted to. They’re typically used to accumulate volume in a shorter amount of time, achieve a greater muscle pump, and elicit more metabolic stress than you would with standard straight sets. Which would theoretically mean that drop sets can lead to better muscle growth and mass gain. However, given that recent research has revealed that metabolic stress may not be as important for muscle growth as we once thought, it begs the question as to whether drop sets are worth incorporating at all, or whether sticking to normal straight sets would instead be best. That’s exactly what I’ll cover in my video, where you’ll learn the benefits of drop sets, whether you should do drop sets or not, and if drop sets can build muscle faster than normal sets.

I like drop sets, but by the time I gather and put all the dumbbells back, the time advantage dwindles. So I've been going to a rest-pause modality: 1) Choose a weight that you can push 10-12 times until failure. 2) Rest for 15 seconds (To avoid two numbers colliding in my head, I say the ABC's in-time to the gym music). 3) Then go again until failure, counting. Remember your count. 3) Rest for 15 seconds. 4) Go again, counting from your prior count total. Remember this new total number. 5) Repeat until you hit 20 reps. Example. Begin with the first failing set of 12 15-second rest You crush out 6 reps. Count = 6 15-second rest. You rip off just 5 reps, but start counting at 7. Count = 11 Etc... until the count is AT LEAST 20.

I am using dropsets to: wrist curls/extensions, calf raises, lateral raises and reverse flye. It's hard to gain strength on those since adding like 2,5lbs on each side of both dumbbells is such a jump for such small muscle groups considering they are recovering relatively faster than major ones either.

Although the disc issue has largely healed and I'm cleared for hitting the gym, I've been struggling to figure out how to bring the left tricep's size and strength in line with the right without just reducing the overall workload. I'm thinking that trying a dropset just for the left tricep may help. Anyway, your science-based no B.S. approach is much in need. I hope your channel continues to grow.

I have been doing drop setting exclusively lately with cardio (jumping rope, quick treadmill run) in between each exercise. I do a circuit of it and I am wasted by the end. I have never seen results and have tried pretty much every method of weightlifting. I have large muscle groups for my size so adding volume in a short period has always been challenging. I don't care much about strength but I am satisfyingly getting stronger. Last note: Although he covers metabolic stress... but the big gain often not talked about is drop setting maintains pretty much a cardio level burn. That is why my 'rest' is more cardio. So on strength training days I am getting a full hour of cardio. And on my run days pretty much the same.

I’m not saying I would go against the science, but I’ve been using dropsets alternating between upper and lower body for two weeks. I like them because Im pushing my 4 rep max for every upper body exercise and then start dropping weight (usually twice per set) then move to lower body doing the same. I’ve been burning more calories per workout (about 100-150 more per hour). The pace feels definitely busier but doable. I was used to doing full body workouts alternating between upper and lower body previously.

This video confirms I've been doing exactly right -- I use dropsets at the end (last excersice) of my triceps, biceps, or calves workout, to completely finish them off, then I go to core and then I'm done. I already did the larger muscle groups/compound excersices first (chest, back. hams/quads).

Awesome video! Thank you for the consistent value you add to my training knowledge

If you have equal volume that means you have more reps at lighter weight with drop sets versus normal sets so we would expect it to train endurance more and strength less. It's not true that drop sets have to be to failure, you could, for example go to RPE8 then a drop set to RPE8.

I combine both logics. I'll usually do about 5 sets per exercise. 4 Standard high weight 10-12RPM sets and end on one drop set.

I classify a drop set with a heavy/medium/light transition as a single set, whereas the study counts it as three sets. I bet doing three drop sets (like what I described) would give better results than the single drop set described. The study would say that's like 9 sets, as opposed to three.

Not sure where the emotional idea you have to exercise to exhaustion for muscle growth started, but I use drop sets for bench press on how far I can safely go, and builds stamina. Failure literally means you pulled a muscle and won't be back in the gym for a couple days.
