Drop sets are king. I've always loved them. Especially 100 reps. Nothing humbles more than starting with 50lb dumbbells, then struggling to lift 2.5lb plates by the end.<br>Heavy supports were a big staple in my Judo training. I was always the little guy, and heavy supports, and partials gave me the confidence to throw heavy guys. Extreme stretching was another thing I did. It was just to not get injured when I was getting joint locked. Being flexible as hell let me get put of a lot of submissions.

You conveniently forgot, old school lifters were loaded to the gills on gear and that a lot of their training is unrealistic for most people.<br><br>Don't give false hope to unrealistic expectations. Genetics play a huge part, but either way just do the best you can.<br><br>ps: Myo Reps often beat a lot of these old "tips".
