Put 10 or 12 on there and have your spotter drop one off each side everytime you hit failure.

It was a bad joke that I couldn’t do drop sets since I’d only have one plate on either side.

I’ll just load up 10-12 five pound plates!

(I love drop sets, rest-pause or even timed sets)

I challenge anyone to do consecutive drop sets. We'll is hack squats as an example. Warm up with a plate on each side. Throw 2 plates on each side. Now the fun starts. Next set is 2 1/2 plates per side (half plate is 25). Drop set to 2 plates. Easy? Ok next set is 3, 2 1/2, 2 plates. Next set is 3 1/2, 3, 2 1/2 ,2. And so in till you're crippled. Go on. I dare ya.
Oooohhhhh I like this! Tell me about rest time. Is it a set (ex:3,2 1/2, 2) then rest? I’m down fo sho!

I have not seen anything 'new' for decades, just new catchy names for the same old good stuff.

Have I seen a bunch of super stupid, trendy, modern vibe and feelings type 'exercises' performed on Smith Machines from coast to coast?

Unfortunately I have.

Sadly this is pretty much accurate with a few exceptions.
