Adding a neural drive drop set after the last working set of your main lift for the day can simply re-stimulate the CNS. Here's how it works.

• Do 2-4 singles in drop set fashion after the final work set of your main lift of the day.

• Start with the working set bar weight and strip 20-30% of the weight off for each drop.

• Rest about 10 seconds between single rep bouts.

• Be as explosive as possible on every single rep. 

After the neural drive drop set has been completed, clear the rest of the weights from the bar and rest 2-3 minutes before moving directly into the accessory work for the day. This drop set should feel and function as a stimulator, not an annihilator. – Dr. John Rusin
