Drop sets

My hubby calls them "Buster Sets." As in, you're busted when you're done.....LOL

So basically you start your set off real heavy or as heavy as you can handle alone, and with each set, you decrease the weight? If so, this is how my co-worker works out.

yeah...but the drops are immediate...no resting in between the drop...so its NOT descending sets

Got it.

Thanks

These are easiest to do on machine lifts where you can drop the weight yourself, or when you can grab the next set of dumbbells. Bar lifts or plate loaded machines require another person to strip the weights for you. That's when a training partner or a gear boy is a great thing to have.

LOL -- my hubby went to the gym with me today & was my gear boy -- he didn't feel like lifting, so I did it alone & he changed plates, etc.........

He's shorter than me too -- 5'2" to my 5'4" but we won't talk about that.....

Clearly looking for a pool boy instead of a gear boy has been my greatest mistake all along.
