drop sets do have there place in a muscle growth program but the thing is you want to be trying to overload the muscle you are working with the maximum amount of weight you can handle for your target rep range 6 to 12 for upper body and 8 to 15 for lower those numbers are pretty general but you get the idea if you are doing drop set after drop set you wont be as strong its just a fact. therefor limiting your growth IMO

alot of guys confuse the burn or pump you get from drop sets as a sign of growth or some see it as a sign of somehow cutting the muscle the basics have and always will work the best do your standard compounds first in the workout and as your strength drops chuck in a few drop sets at the end of your workout just to get that nice burn

So if for chest, i start with warm up, then 4 sets 6 reps on max weight on flat bench, then same for incline bench and then again for dumbells. Then towards the end of chest exercises do maybe, cable exercises on drop sets is that what you're saying is most effective? I found it works well for me but was never told that was the way to do it. Good info on here regardless :grin:

Just youtube it

do what you want if your reaching your goals who cares train the way you like not what some magazine said

to each there own but I do understand everyones point about fatiguing quick if your doing typical volume training because your second third etc exercises you will have to drop the weight significantly to finish all the sets
