Publisher's Synopsis
You may perform barbell curls with 70 pounds for as many reps as possible. After you hit momentary failure, you'll reduce hen reduce the weight by 10 pounds, then immediately continue the set to failure. Decrease the weight again by 10 more pounds and do more reps until failure.
Most folks use 3 total sets in a drop set workout. Drop sets are a mainstay of heavy weightlifting workouts.
Drop sets increase muscle size and endurance. By continuing an exercise at a lower weight, you force your muscles to work as hard as they possibly can, like you do in competition. Although your arms and legs might feel like cooked noodles after drop sets, you'll be stronger and last longer on the field or court.
Aim for at least 3-8 reps on each dropset. On each set, perform 5-8 reps with a heavier weight, then go to goblet squats with moderate weight for as many reps as possible, but saving one "in the tank." Do as many bodyweight lunges as possible.
A drop set is an advanced resistance training technique in which you focus on completing a set until failure - or the inability to do another repetition. Then, you lighten the load by 10-30%, and repeat, with little to no rest in between sets. The goal is to maximize potential muscle gain.
Drop setting involves performing an exercise with a specific amount of weight to start. The goal is to do as many reps as possible until momentary fatigue (unable to complete another single rep), rest just long enough to remove some weight (dropping the weight) and then continue to work until another moment of fatigue.
