Strong Opposition

Even though drop sets felt harder and made muscles swell more, they didn’t make the blood more acidic or the heart beat faster than regular sets.

Effects of drop set resistance training on acute stress indicators and long-term muscle hypertrophy and strength.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Human

Even though the study didn’t list exact blood lactate and heart rate numbers, it found that drop sets made people feel much more exhausted and caused more muscle fatigue — which usually means their heart was beating faster and lactic acid built up more than with regular workouts.

After one workout, guys who did drop sets were temporarily weaker than before, more so than those who did regular sets.

When men who already lift weights do lots of reps with lighter weights, their muscles produce more lactic acid buildup than when they lift heavy weights for fewer reps, both right away and after two months of training.
