We only know how drop sets affect the arms and thighs — we don’t know if they work the same way on your back, chest, or calves.

All the research so far is on young, experienced male lifters — we don’t know if drop sets work the same for women, older people, or beginners.

It’s not clear if drop sets work better for people who already lift weights versus beginners — the study had too few participants in each group to tell.

We don’t know if drop sets work the same way for women, older people, or people who’ve never lifted weights — all the studies were on young men.

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.

If you do the same total amount of work, using drop sets won’t make your muscles bigger or stronger than doing regular sets over two months.
