Drop Sets
I've recently been inspired by several books and articles about Steve Reeves. Apparently, he thoroughly believed in drops sets. According to what I've read, he kept dropping weight until be couldn't move another rep. He also did this for every single set he performed....so I've read.
My routine looks something like this....
Day 1...Shoulders, Tris, and Bis.
Day 2...Legs
Day 3...Chest, Back, Traps
Day 4...Off
Day 5...Legs, again.
Day 6...Power train (Incline Bench, T-Bar Rows, Upright Rows, Military Presses)....Completely compound stuff.
Day 7...Off
Usually I do 25-30 sets per workout...Roughly 10 set per bodypart. I train in the 6-8 range on most exercises and 10-12-15 on others.
Today I plan to start dropping sets. Probably not on every single set, but at least on the last one or two.
What's you guys' take on drop sets? Is anybody using them and what have the results been? I realize the stamina has to be up or I'll end up killing myself trying to do this.
