Been training for 31 years and only started using drop sets regularly this year . for chest say first excercise high incline Barbell press 3 straight sets to failure(no drop in this one ) . Then Low incline dumbell press 2 drop sets ..so .. set 1. failure then drop 10- 20 % - failure again. set 2. failure then drop 10-20% - failure again . and third excercise is flat press but only 1 set double drop - 1st set - failure then drop 10- 20 % - failure again then drop 10-20% - failure again . so chest day would be total of 6 sets for whole workout , sometimes instead of drops i will use rest pause instead . Have always trained heavy low volume failure and or close to it my whole life.Never done a deload in my life , if I feel i need a few days extra off or a week I took it . I do all muscle groups this way pretty much (except for shoulders , I just do heavy straight sets for Delts , they take enough abuse during the rest of my training ). It is just my own opinion that if you can train a bodypart for a whole hour or if you need more than 5-7 sets for a single muscle then youre not training hard enough . should be able to DESTROY a bodypart in 15-35 minutes. This youtube channel is by far the best youtube has to offer . The rest of em are ruining fitness , bodybuilding etc... hiding behind "science " and just creating confusion for the newbs . Christian thank you for the sensible advices you put out there
Sounds interesting. Was thinking of doing the same, only doing 2 sets every 2 days. More recovery, possibly easier on the joints. Don't forget rest days!

Thanks for your valuable info
I just started a program doing 1 set per body part every day, these will be perfect for bicep
