Strip the bar while still holding it?? For example on bench press, you get two guys one at each end, start of with say 4 plates, do as many as you can, then while still holding the bar, they rip off a plate, you go for reps, then they rip of another etc etc... it's a sure fire way to burn yourself to pieces! ------------------     | ||

I have never done it, but will try. quote: Don�t you think that it could be kind of dangerous, I mean if these spoters guys don�t coordinate while riping the 45 pound plate you could loose your balance. It sounds good. I�ll try it out!!! [This message has been edited by Cornellius (edited January 03, 2001).] | ||

Yea, it's called a strip set. It's helpful when 3 guys are working out to do them with barbells. Another great strip set which only requires one other person is tricep pushdowns. This way, if you're using straps for grips you don't have to take your hands off the bar. I think it's intense training. I don't do it all the time. Usually, end up soaked in sweat from head to toe. | ||

I usually do this w/ 10lb plates. Put a shitload on each side.. do 12 reps, take 1 off, do 12 reps, take 1 off.. etc.. then when u are down to nothing but the bar u do it as many times as u can.. most of the time, the bar feels awful heavy when u are done. | ||

It works great on nose breakers and straight bar curls aswell, but like said before most people in the gym can barely tie their own shoes... | ||

Yep, used to do strip-sets a lot, now I do 'super-sets' and I don't personally like doing strip-sets with 'supers-sets' ------------------ | ||

You've finally supprised my E2 !. It's an old training system, done properly it's great however only work a muscle into such a state every couple of weeks. Remember you should have enough recovery leaving the gym to repair and grow. Regards Bouncer ------------------ | ||

With bench press...all you have to do is rack the weight, have them strip the weight off, then begin again. Not that hard. B True | ||

Used to play a burnout game with a buddy of mine. . .we'd fill the bar up with 10's, both sides for chest or shoulders, bi's too, do as many as you can, he stips 1 off each end, you take 20 seconds between sets and start again as many as you can. Personally I think it is one of the best strengthening exercises if done periodically. It tears muscle down like no other and build stamina. ------------------ | ||

It will definitely seperate the men from the boys. I usually work out alone so I rack the weight strip it and go back to lifting as fast as I can. Wish I had a spotter though and I could go to failure. Don't do it very often but I use it to mix things up now and again. Peace | ||

I have done it before...usually I will do something similar on my last set of the muscle group of the day(whether it be barbell, dumbell, or machine, I just keep decreasing the weight and doing reps for till it hurts..hehe) big-guy | ||

I finish my chest workout with drop sets using cable flys. It's so quick/easy to change the weight. Nearly any exercise its easier to do drop sets when on a machine. Changing free weights for drop sets takes too long. | ||

I have done it in the past but it is not an option for me anymore, too much pump = too much pain from stretch marks. ------------------ | ||

I used to do it all the time when I had two work out partners. It was fun and a great workout. But it sucked if you had to pull weights, then lift. Going first is much nicer, more energy and strength. | ||

My last set is usually a drop set. It gives one hell'uva burn. It's the old Cybergenics method. | ||

I lov'em I load the bar up with 10's and strip a pair at every failure. I go this way until it's just the bar and I can not even get that for another rep. I only do it once in a while but it's definately a shocker! Breaks me out of a slump every time. | ||

I've done something similar. I've gone to failure, racked the weight, had a partner (or two) strip some weight, then continue. I think it's more safe that way. ------------------ | ||

If you do them right they can be a great addition to your workout arsenal! I do them at most once a week per bodypart. More than that is very hard on your recovery time. | ||

I do this with bi's and tri's quite a bit. I personally don't think anything else gets my muscles a better workout so quick than these. | ||

I'm sure you've all done strip sets the point is to do it on bench press without racking the weight it adds a whole new dimension. Cubano i know it's not a new thing, but what can ya say i'm new to this weightlifting sutff heh heh... Natural, where is my spelling mistake? Oh and i make them all the time you know us canadians eh??? ------------------ | ||

I used to do it with the leg press. It is extremely painful. I added 1 solid inch to my thighs in 1 month and I wasn't using any gear. I couldn't walk for a month though either. I would be sore for 5 days, day 6 felt o.k. then day 7 was leg day again. Seriously I was sore for a month straight. |
