Today our topic is going to be drop sets. You can add this to your list of dumbbell workouts. I like to do drop sets at the end of a body part workout to really fatigue the muscle. You may be thinking, what is a drop set?
A drop set is using the heaviest weight you can lift till fatigue. Then immediately lifting a weight 10% less than your first weight. Do as many reps as you can to fatigue. Reduce the next weight by another 10%, and perform as many reps as you can. Keep reducing your weight by 10% till you physically cannot perform another repetition.
There are no breaks in between each set. Just keep moving from back to back repetitions! Using drop sets to fatigue your muscles is one of the best dumbbell workouts you can add to your routine!
