Even if you train until you can’t do another rep, it doesn’t make your muscles grow more than stopping just before failure — both ways work about the same.

Even though drop sets sound like they should make muscles grow more by keeping them under stress longer, they don’t actually make you bigger than regular workouts.

When you train to near failure, doing drop sets doesn’t make your muscles grow bigger than doing regular sets — both methods build muscle about the same in young men.

Drop set training produces equivalent muscle hypertrophy in significantly less training time compared to traditional resistance training, resulting in greater hypertrophy per unit of time.

Even if you do the same total amount of work, drop sets don’t make your muscles grow more than regular sets — whether you match the weight lifted or not, the results are about the same.

To get the most muscle growth from drop sets, you have to push until you can’t do another rep — if you stop short, you might not get the same results.
