FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Hi Scott,

What do you think of mechanical dropsets for the pump set portion of FT?

For example for chest I’ve been doing

Db fly into DB hex press into DB press, no rest in between, aiming for 10 reps each exercise to total 30 reps

Does this fit the bill of what pump sets are supposed to be in FT ?

I’ve previously been doing 5’s in the hole, 21’s etc. But just to try something different and get a nice pump I’ve heen doing the mechanical dropsets and they’re a lot of fun

Thanks !

Yes, I like it (!!!!!) and actually filmed a mechanical dropset on IG - check the discussion here to see how this (with a lighter load) could be used for a Pump set:

You'll just want to be careful with your auto regulation / use of those b/c doing something like that -where you can maintain continuous tension of course - is going to be substantially more stress than a simple straight set. Your'e basically stringing together what is appproachig failure on each of the three mechanical variations of the exercise, so you're really extending the set quite a bit.

This is a great one for using pump sets to bring up weak muscle groups.
