I have the FAQ book which has a section near the end on drop sets. To me, it's confusing. It states:
"All the reps performed, including the work reps, should reach about 15-20 to create a real metabolic environment inside the cell...".
I don't understand this. Isn't that the rep volume range achieved by the normal use of the HST program
(5 reps X 3 sets=15, 10 reps X 2 sets=20 or 15 reps X 1 set=15)?
Using this guideline, drop sets wouldn't need to be used to achieve higher volume because you've already reached what is recommended above to create a "metabolic environment" (15-20 reps). Any help? Really confused.
