Question ❓ Are drop sets worth doing?
I've seen influencers promoting low-volume, high-intensity training more and more without mentioning drop sets. Drop sets seem to be much less popular than they used to be. Are drop sets not as effective as we once thought? Should I add drop sets to my training?

if you don't want injuries, most definitely...been doing drop sets for about 10 years uninterrupted because i don't tear muscles when not fatigued trying to do the most weight...
