Anyone have experience with doing giant/dead sets of exercise (consecutive set of 50 reps with no rest)? Latest program my trainer gave me incorporates a few of these for each weight training day. Curious if there are any specific benefits of these over your more normal 3x + rest routines.

I’ve done some of those in the past with deadlifts, backsquat, and bench press. I’ve seen some impressive gains on it. DL 315x30 multiple times a week and after that i could warm up with that weight cold any day of the week. Same with the other lifts

Deadlifts are probably the only one I'd be somewhat nervous about doing at really high reps just because I think i might start getting sloppy 3/4 the way in. Guess we'll see in a few weeks how well this works out! It's honestly just hard estimating the appropriate weight for high rep sets like this.

The only reason I’ve never done it more is it’s absolute torture. We weren’t allowed to let go of the bar no matter what. You could pause but you couldn’t let go. No matter, your lower back is gonna be smoked and sitting will feel awkward for a day. Just don’t bounce the weight more than anything

Can confirm - it's a battle of the mind. I barely want to walk after finishing up everything.
