Chris,
1) Seated quad extensions with a drop set or forced negatives is a technique that you may not need to employ just yet to be honest. My way of doing a drop set is to use a weight that will take the exercise to failure at say 4 or 5 reps (so bloody heavy), then remove about 30-40% of the resistance & go again immediately for another 3 or 4 reps to failure. This sees the set totalling about 8 reps.
I only do this very occasionally as it is often overused. Also, most people tend to end up doing far too many reps, they use a weight they'd fail with at ten reps, drop it some, then go again for another ten. Madness.

Forced negatives are brutal, and should only be done when you have a training partner who you trust implicitly. On extensions, it's not too dangerous, but still, take care. Pick a weight that will see you fail at say, six or seven reps, once failure is reached, have your training partner lift the weight to the top while you hold that contraction. Then your partner pushed down hard on the arm of the machine as you fight against it all the way down. You have to tell your partner when to stop pushing so best to agree on the signal before beginning the set. Do no more than two of these forced neg reps. Nasty.

As regards the MRP, you know my stance on which make to use, but I don't want to be pulled up for free advertising. Any that contain a whey/micellar caesin mix with about 20g carbs will be ok.

OK, I'll wait on those until I am ready. They sound effective and I'd probably over do like last time and be crippled again for a couple of days from the pain. :p

Thanks for the description though. I won't test the waters.

Very wise. I only employ these techniques from time to time as it is quite a shock to the system. Plenty screaming & bleeding out the ears!
