Drop Sets 101

[MrDarkblaze81]

So are there three drop sets? Meaning once i finish a Dropset start a new one?

[GentianNB]

but bro, after the drop set, no more sets?

[ninjakawasaki1972]

how often should I do drop sets?

[snaggypaggy]

I don't understand it completely, in your 4 month plan here is the first exercise : "3 Drop Sets of incline Barbell press (8.8.8) IE: each set will have 24 reps", I am confused. After doing 8.8.8 am I finished on that exercise, or do I do (8.8.8) 3 times? Since there are 3 dropsets to do, therefore I end up doing 24 x 3? Please can anyone help who reads this since Lui will probably not have time. THANKS!!



[smileyg2]

@snaggypaggy Lui gives an example of of his Machine press drop set in the link available at 2:37.

To clarify what is written, you should do a drop set consisting of 3 sets of 8 reps=24 total reps. Don't do 24reps x 3 sets unless you're looking for a trip to the hospital or you're an advanced body builder who knows what he's doing.

[MrEddyz1]

Would you recommend increasing weight after each set if you want to gain weight??? Thanks!

[dsamoa]

Can you talk about rest after sets and stuff?

[gsadnan89]

Lui do u recommend me to do drop sets as a beginner?

[luimarco]

@gsadnan89 yes sir why not

[luimarco]

@GenTFBRo not true, i did them several times and i stopped later

[007007007892]

on drop sets, can you do drop sets every time you go to the gym if you want to be cut and diced and ripped or do drop sets need to be cycled 1 month do drop sets and 1 month do regular sets. I just wand to be diced and ripped, i dont care about big i just want a nice body ( so how often can i do dropsets), every time i workout or 1 month drop sets and 1 month regular sets.

[007007007892]

do you ever drink alcohol Lui?

[MmaNcovers]

i also believe doing drop sets saves time and triggers your body to produce more hgh to stimulate recovery. Its a great way to stay in shape and strain ur nervous system. Circuit training and drop sets all the way

[Deutschehordenelite]

i thought twitches are fast OR slow ;o never heard of medium twitches

[DarkprinceCs]

Hey he changed back the advertisement website to small and white. Way better :D

The blue one was huge.

[abdullahazaz]

Hi lui can you explain ''Breathing squats'', i am 18 and still growing slowly and heard that these can increase your ribcage size as long as you're under 20 thanks in advance :D

[PJMGvidz]

hi lui, could you please make a video about how you should workout if you only can at the weekend ( Friday night , Saturday , Sunday) because people are some times unable to workout during the week e.g because of work or in my case boarding school and we need to know how to gain muscle if you can only work out at the weekend, thanks!

[germade]

hey man one question: i began with ur exercises of ur killer bodyplan 3 weeks ago but without do dropsets. im 23yrs 6'1 and 176lbs now (i was 202lbs 4 months ago). the problem is that without do drop sets i take always between 2,5 and 2 hours per day in the 3 days i go to the gym. i think that if i begin do drop sets i will stay in the gym all the day.

any recommendation? i wanna do drop sets on september but i wanna get my body ready for it before begin with it

greetings

[MrThatguyaaron]

This video seems a bit pseudo scientific to me mate. Medium twitch fibers and saying drop sets give you a crisper, harder look? Confusing.

[194Tito]

lui do u recomend the Nano Vapor Hardcore As a pre Workout to your 4 months killer plan ? saluting u from sweden lui

[0680496]

where did you get the 20% number?? I think its way more than 20%...like 30-40%

[iMentoz]

Which plan should I go for first (mass plan or 4month killer body plan) if I'm naturally very skinny?

[scuaree]

I need an advice bro; the thing is that i have a rude life... first i have to go to work at 8am am to 2pm, after i go to school and my day finish when i arrive at home at 11:30 pm, then i have to sleep to wake up at 6 am and go to the gym... and the routine of the day starts after that. I sleep like 5-6 hours and some time less for my way to live.My question is, what can i do if i dont sleep well and i want to still doing weight training following the diet?

[melkam647]

Can u do a video on post work out carbohydrate supplements -such as waxy maze- on their relevance or lack thereof?

[chosenone234]

Main point: Gonna make a easier to read plan

i love you closeness to the community and all the question you answer.

after being an idiot and takeing days to realize the plan was in the info section i finally found it.

long story short i want to help you and all the people reading to follow and understand the plan. I will do this in the form of a small site it will serve the simple function of being more than a giant block of text with some simple graphics.

please give me a simple ok.

[CIarKent]

I do the opposide of drop sets. I'm starting with light weight and with each set I increase the weight until I'm at my maximum weight.

I think it's called a pyramid. it's how Arnold trained

[frazierbeyb]

more meal examples...those were very informative and helpful

[shazieb786]

Lastly, do you know any good online supplement sites? I know of bodybuilding com but they are based out of U.S and shipping and delivery will cost me too much. gnc is too expensive.

[shazieb786]

Im not one for facebook but i guess i could open one and close it right away, btw bro keep up the good work. I follow your vids everyday.

[shazieb786]

thanks bro

[AnonymousLightbulb]

Thanks Lui. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this to a noob like me. Keep the good vids coming bro!

[Durstin11]

You're amazing man! keep the good videos coming!

[theunlistedmuffin123]

so to be clear, the second and third sets' weight should be 20% less than the original weight? also, you should go from set to set as quickly as possible?

[eddamonsta]

hey lui can you make a video of what you think of diffierent diets,especialy Intermittent Fasting. what do ya think of fasting training and meal timing,thanks bro!

[flames25defense]

Me and my girlfriend just broke up text the shit out of 727-479-9020.

[shazieb786]

Hey lui, im sorry i dont have FACEBOOK... i would like your 4 month plan as well as your bulking plan and any other routine you have. Please do not exclude me because i dont have facebook ....

[luimarco]

@shazieb786 it takes you 1 min to open 1 bro, open it to get the plans and then close it ;)

[justinphilm]

@luimarco I liked the page but me neither i'm not a big facebook addict so idk if i'm retarded but can't find your plan!!!

[mrnxdrf1]

@shazieb786 You don't need one to get access to the plan. Just go to his page and click the "Info Tab" then select "See More".

[piffski215]

I agree with ausbb1 do a video about masturbation and if it effects muscle growth

[r4ng3own]

lui how are you measuring your body fat percentage. Probably a stupid question but just wondering : )

[ausbb1]

do a video on masturbating and bodybuilding does it effect muscle growth

[nick888ph]

THUMBS UP FOR A VIDEO ABOUT SUPER SETS.....

[chit0kan0]

Can you do a forced negative video?

[BawlsNo]

Hey Lui, was wondering if you have or will make a video on how you are cutting. As in your meal plan and if this affects you workouts in any way. Also really liking the new cam.

[emericaordie15]

Aren't drop sets good for breaking out of a plateau??

[Jiminibobster]

Hey lui. I really want to start bodybuilding but I can't afford to go to a gym. I have dumbbells and a barbell at home but I don't know how far I could go with just this equipment? How long do you think it will be before I need to join a gym to progress any further?

[xMaNiiKx]

Loving the new camera man!

[FHS96]

I saw thsi guy that was doing squats today at my gym, he was 2 seconds from dying... Can you do a squat form video?

[johnsnips]

Drop sets or normal sets?

[geggis13]

[futb0lista7777777]

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON WARM UP EXERCISES BEFORE LIFTING

[194Tito]

Lui the 4 months killer plan damn shud i avoid the nano vapor hardcore?

[Dr0g0NP0w3R987]

This is my last question for today

I am 17 5"10 and weight about 135 pounds. The only possible way for me to gain weight is to work out, If i stop working out my weight stays the same (I gained approx 20 pounds after 1 month of working out) My main concern is what will happend if I consume too much whey protein? or protein in general? And what is the best website to calculate body fat?

[ChronosBlaez]

I've heard that proteins from vegetables are not complete and that they need to be combined with proteins from other foods to be complete. Could you please do a video explaining this?

[rampagetapout]

can you make a myfitnesspal so we can see what you eat through out the day

[kentpickle]

**Can you do one on CARBS and lets us know about how much we need to cut out to lose fat and CARBING up, PLEASE.

[194Tito]

Shud i use it or avoid it lui?greetings from sweden lui

[luimarco]

@194Tito it depends on which of my plans you are

[WhatIsItToBurn]

Can you do one on bodybuilding and going bald?

All of the males in my family are bald and I have a really odd shaped head. So bald wouldnt suit me!

If you do this for a video, drop the hat! You look good with no hair!

[HerbSmoulder]

really liking the new camera luimarco

[194Tito]

Lui do u recomend nano vapor hardcore as a pre workout? It contains creatine monohydrate i think . Cuz on ur 4 months i shud only take the creatine monohydrate 10 grams on month 4 right, damn its being confusion 4

[ExpertPizza]

can you recommend fat loss technics for teens? i'm 15 yr old, and 187 cm heigh. i have a big muscle mass, but i also have fat. :/ what do you recommend for the younger audience?

[Dr0g0NP0w3R987]

how to gain mass (muscle) during fasting?

[luimarco]

@Dr0g0NP0w3R987 impossible ;) did u see my 2 videos on ramadan?

[Dr0g0NP0w3R987]

@luimarco I watched one of it but not sure if you made another one,i'll check. Thanks a lot!

[yuvrajdiwan123]

@luimarco ive found that dropping only 20 percent is not enough for most people including me. is it ok if i drop 30-40 percent?

[superrubiksman]

@Dr0g0NP0w3R987 I guarantee you that you will not gain one ounce of muscle during fasting. No disrespect

[Dr0g0NP0w3R987]

@superrubiksman maybe not but i will try because if i try I might not gain muscle but i will be able to maintain my current weight :)

[nisarakbari]

@Dr0g0NP0w3R987 hey man im muslim bodybuilder aswell in ramadan you can only maintain you cant get bigger so at night try consume alot of protein lots of water good carbs

[nisarakbari]
