Drop sets
Last night I tried drop sets and loved the burn I had going. It was shoulder night so I figured it be the perfect body part to try it out on. Tonight will be back and bi so we’ll see how that goes. Oh, and MrDead I threw in a 100 reps at the end just for you. Oooooouuuuuucccccchhhhhhhh! My stomach is feeling better, still a little queesy but not as bad. My appetite is back so that’s a really good thing. I think I’ll stick with drop sets for a few weeks to see how it works out. Next on my list will be 5×5. I need to do alittle more research into it. If anyone out there has done it feel free to leave me some tips. Or even on the drop sets.

When I really want to beat myself to death and get a huge pump going I do drop sets. I start very heavy and slowly drop the weight but I only rest just long enough between sets to change the weight. KILLER!!

Drop sets ROCK, but you must allow for more recovery with them. Check out Mike Mentzer’s Heavy Duty principles if it’s mass you are looking to add….And if you have a big dog like I do, walking ‘em, is defintiely an extreme cardio session…..

I’ve been doing the same thing. The only break in between is to pick up the next weight. I needed something to throw off my stale routine. I do want to add some mass. I’m feeling pretty scrawny right now.
