Adjusting Rockers with large cams

I was wondering how to adjust my rockers since I intalled a new cam, I was told that when you have a bigger cam with more overlap and things you can't use the old fastioned way to set the valves.
Let me know how you guys are doing it.

Adjust them the same old way, there is "no lift" when you are adjusting the rockers, you are not on the lobe when you adjust. I wouldn't do it with the car on unless you've already done it before, otherwise its a risky habit, some people lose pushrods that way, and if one were to escape it could be bad. I see no reason to adjust them the shadetree way.
