This complete guide will teach you everything you need to know about Drop Sets.

What are Drop Sets

Drop sets are the act of performing a set to failure and then immediately reducing the weight and doing another set. The process is repeated until you can no longer continue. It is a great way to reach total fatigue when training.

In a drop set, you don't rest between the sets, and you keep the exercise the same.
