Whats a cough drop set?
How does sucking a sweet help when exercising?
I thought it would be dangerous, considering the risk of choking etc.
lol...:-D
Actually yeah i seem to have issues doing bicep curls - left is much weaker so it struggles to finish a set that doesn't really worry my right side - how do drop sets work?
Lately I have been doing the last set of a compound exercise as a drop set until failure... dropping down to basically what I warmed up on... Really finishes the set of well!
start with a normal heavish weight that you can do 7-10 reps with (different muscle groups tend to have vary on when they fail)
Do your reps and then some until you fail (can't do any more). Then with NO REST, lower the weight slightly and aim to do 7-10 reps again. Repeat until you aren't even lifting anything. You shouldn't be resting at all, if you really need to rest allow yourself 5-20seconds max.
Eg on the bench press I might start with 30kg on each side of the bar, then i would drop it down by removing 2.5kg from each, for each set.
Me and ender did a full body routine the other day using drop sets, we were almost sick :D

30kg on each side! if i did that i'd just crush myself I'm loading 30kg total. good show though.
