    Increase the weights

    SET 2: 10 reps x 55 lbs.Rest 3 minutes

    Increase the weights

    Drop Sets are one of the best ways to build lean muscle and burn fat. You definitely want toinclude them in your workout arsenal. They will change you body forever.

    Drops sets are my favorite type of workout quick and effective!

    Drop Sets

    1. Do a set of an exercise to fatigue.2. Immediately lower the weight and go to fatigue on the same exercise for the second time.3. Lower the weight again (with no rest) for the third and final set to fatigue.

    Tip: Drop Sets are most effective with a spotter so they can change the weight for you.

    Tip: The amount of weight you lower on each set will vary. Approximately a 30 percentdrop on each set is the most effective. Each exercise and individual is different. You willhave to experiment in the beginning to discover what works best for you.

    Example: Leg Press

    SET 1A): 100 lbs. X 12 repsno rest

    SET 1B): 70 lbs. X 12 repsno rest

    SET 1C): 50 lbs. X 12 reps

    Drop Set is complete

    Rest 2-3 minutes Go to the next exercise
