@Zitroshinken That exercise is called a Glute-Ham Raise and really targets the hamstrings. I train this often because I don't deadlift but still want to develop my hamstring strength.
You could add the chinups to any one of those days that you do a squat or deadlift, but I wouldn't squat and deadlift on the same day unless you're varying the intensity greatly, which would pretty much turn that lift into an assistance exercise. I'd go with your latter option.
Nope, not at all. Yes you're dropping the weight in between sets, but the main thing that differentiates this from a drop set is that you're resting for a long period of time between sets, as opposed to just dropping the weight and going again ASAP.
Yeah, that'll be the last time that I do full ROM for awhile. As you can probably see in the video, my back tucks under in the bottom position. I don't feel it during the squats, but the next day my back kills and takes several days to recover from, so I've since moved back to squatting to a 12 inch box.
Great technique on front squats, Martin's stuff is great but i still think there is research etc suggesting that working up to your "top set" provides more neural strength gains as oppossed to doing RPT which would lead to greater hypertrophy gains. Hence alot of coaches training olympic athletes use ascending pyramids, but ye guess it depends on goals etc.
I'm not sure as I haven't look at that research, but from personal experience I've never felt as strong I have by doing RPT. Now that I'm pushing heavier weights, I found that I was simply too fatigued by the time I got to the top set using conventional training methods. It's certainly something I'm going to experiment again with in the future though.
Nice video. What's a good RPT training setup for a week? I've only seen specific days.

would you say RPT is better than drop sets?

@ernestezekiel Drop sets should only be done on ocassion. RPT is a training method that you can implement over an extended period of time.

Isn't reverse pyramid training the same thing as drop sets??

Full range of motion on front squats. I like the full squats, too.
