Drop Sets
This is the most basic and yet brutal
of all shocks! You begin by reaching failure with a weight, as soon as you
hit failure, lessen the weight, and then continue the set until failure is
reached again.
Example: Lets say you were to
perform lat pulldowns with a 100 pound stack. If you reached failure at 12
reps, you would strip the weight down to 80 pounds and continue.
A single drop or descending set is
when you lower the weight once.
A double drop or descending set is
when you lower the weight twice.
Example: Lets say you were to
perform lat pulldowns with a 100 pound stack. If you reached failure at 12
reps, you would strip the weight down to 80 pounds and continue to failure, and
then lower the weight down to 60 pounds.
A triple drop or descending set is
when you lower the weight twice.
