Why Drop Sets on Incline Dumbbell Presses - Dr. Mike Israetel approved? ‪@RenaissancePeriodization‬

Michael Baker

All I’m trying to do is give good advice to people over 40 with limited time who want real strength and muscle. I train mostly beginners and I’m a big believer in both compound lifts and drop sets to get the most out of limited training time. As a digital professional anchored to a chair most of the day, when it's time to train I make sure to maximize every minute with focused, efficient, full-body work. In this video I walk through exactly how I run a drop set on incline dumbbell presses, going from heavy to light, pushing to failure, and making sure to get that deep stretch Dr. Mike Israetel has drilled into my head.Key Moments:00:00:03 – Why I use drop sets with myself and clients to maximize time and effort

00:00:46 – Using compound lifts to hit multiple muscle groups efficiently

00:01:21 – Running a 3-stage drop set: 100s to 80s to 50s with focus on stretch

00:02:23 – Treating the final set like both a deep stretch and burnout

00:03:26 – No spotter? Drop sets give you solo forced reps, followed by deficit pushups and pullovers
