drop sets
has anyone tried these drop sets i done a set on inclined bench press last night and wow what a hard thing to do. what im wondering is im doing bi's and tri's tonight will it work as well using it on these muscles or am i likely to rip something last night i did 40k-30-20-10 ten reps each then 20 reps on weightless bar (this was the killer part)

Multi - poundage sets.
Excellent advanced training strategy that really breaks down the muscles to be built back stronger.
you can do it on almost any piece of equipment

i dont drop set like that, in my mind, a drop set aint 10 reps of each weight
my drop sent consist of me me doing a weight i normally get 10 reps from,
for the sake, say benching, 70kg, do ten, drop to 55kg, then push as many as you can, then drop to 40kg, same again, as many as you can till failure, drop again, to just the bar, and again till failure, it will make you feel like a poof reppin the bar 6 or 7 times, and failing, but by fuck will it work you.
oh, no rests at all, only the time it takes to get the weight of the bar.
try that out, you will feel the burn
in my mind you shouldnt drop again tonight, if you wer benching last night, that included the arms, you shouldnt really be working them the next day after you work your chest, have a rest day between arms and chest

yup, said they wer benchin last night, and then tonight, bi's and tri's, wat i said above, not clver to do them day after day, leave a days rest, as benchin is tris mate, and you would have used arms alot over chests workout.

was always under the impression that is a bit daft,
always thought a drop set is about shocking the muscles, so doing it every session on all exercises aint really a shock to the body

only really drop set my shoulders (dumbell side laterals) and tris (cable pushdowns). as said, to shock the muscles where it's needed
can be handy too if you're unsure whether to go up a weight or not. might as well just go for it if you're pretty confident, then if you do get less than 5/6 reps til fail, just grab the lower weight and do til fail again
