Say your doing chest. Warm up a few times then hit it heavy as hell till there's nothing left then drop say to 225 or 135 and band out 50 to 100 reps? I started this with all major muscle groups and noticed a great change. I assume its hitting both fast and slow twitch fibers?

I worked chest yesterday, did a lot of heavy compound movements with cable flies and dumbell flies for an hour and a half. To finish it off I did 10 sets of 10 on bench super setted with single plate squeeze.
 
I think it has its place but as far as building muscle goes I think it’s the farthest from the best way to go. The best rep scheme to build muscle is between 8-12. Personally I don’t see a point to going as high as 50-100 reps. This is really just endurance training. Take for example the sprinter compared to the marathon runner. The sprinters legs are massive while the marathon runners are not. If it’s strength you seek stick to lower reps 4-8 and hypertrophy 8-12. That’s my two sense.
