So many bodybuilders are fans of dropsets, but is there any research on this technique or are these lifters just too obsessed with the pump. Today we break down a study looking at dropsets done in pre-exhaust and post-exhaust exercise orders. The discussion that follows gives personal reflections on some of the reasons John feels dropsets may not be optimal. John always reviews the full-text of each study review on the show, but to see the abstract please go to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3590834/ .
