I know lifters in the incel community tend to put heavy weights on a pedestal, but hear me out.
Very recently, I've been adding drop sets where I drop the working weight by 20 pounds (ca. 9 kg) (10 pounds (4.54 kg) per side with dumbbells) and increase the reps by 6. Since I work in rep ranges of 5-8 and 5-12 depending on the specific lift, the tail end of an exercise can have upwards of 20 consecutive reps, which is excruciating to not just my muscles, but also my ego as I strain and quiver under extremely light weight. Last month, I added these wide drop sets to my main leg lift, and although it was brutal, the hypertrophic effects were so good that I decided to add them to most of my other lifts and embrace the pain. I also noticed that my legs tended to be far less sore during a running session.
If you've never tried them before and you're a non-novice gymcel, I'd say they're worth a shot.
