Set extensions?

I tried this last night for chest and triceps.
1- Holy shit
2- 15 seconds goes by very very quickly when your muscles are burning and you’re trying to fill your lungs.
3- I gave myself some extra time on a few different exercises. Being it was my first time I erred on the side of caution so I didn’t injure anything. Getting older and wiser lol.
4- looking forward to doing it today with different muscle groups!

 

You sound like you know what you're talking about. I'll take your word for it.

 

If you go fully and completely all out on each set and drop set, I'd be curious to know if it has a cumulative overtraining effect over time. I'm not saying it will, but I'd be curious to know for comparative purposes. Please keep us posted.

 

Definitely will

 

I did something similar this morning while benching.
Bench 8 reps, wait 15 seconds and do 10 perfect form push-ups, wait 15 seconds and bench again 8 reps.
Wait 30 seconds and do 10 more push ups, wait 30 seconds and bench again. Down to 6 reps.
Wait one minute, do 10 more push ups, wait one minute, bench again 4 good reps.
Very difficult and I'll say the pump was fantastic. Struck a pose in the mirror when I got home and looked marvelous. Well, marvelous for me.
One caveat, I was benching with a Smith Machine as I did not have a spotter, and didn't want to fail and crash, which seems much more probable trying this method.

 

Going to try this as I have been pressed for time lately and can hit the dumbbells...

 

What level of intensity did you do (i.e., failure, repetition maximum, etc.)?

 

Push ups were not to failure, just what I felt I could repeat for all sets. Not having done this before it was kind of an experiment. I probably could have started with 20 push ups and then see what happens.
Bench was to failure of good reps each time which is why I used a Smith machine.

 

OK. I'm about 3 weeks in on the "Baron speed workout" (trademarked)

I have to say, it is a great change of pace workout or if you are pressed for time and want to get a good burn.
I'm still on the fence if you can grow with this type of workout. You can definitely maintain, but if you are a seasoned trainer, I'm not sure if you lift heavy enough to bulk.

Maybe Baron can add something to this, as 3 weeks isn't enough time for me to make a proper judgement.

Overall though I love the workout

 

Just to get a better understanding of your workout, could you please answer these questions:

1. How many sets do you do per workout, excluding the drop sets?
2. How many drop sets do you do for each exercise?
3. How many times a week do you work out?
4. Do you do a split routine or a whole body routine?
5. Do you take each set, including the drop sets, to failure?
