I understand drop sets as doing a set, then stripping some weight off, then doing the next set instead of resting. Your notation says six sets of 3.six sets of three is correct.These are drop sets in the sense that the weight is dropped off and they're there to hit a certain level of fatigue.

Juni0r83 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I always thought of those "drop sets" more as back off sets after a single heavy set just to get some more volume. Which would make it something like a max effort workout in the conjugate method. Or maybe I'm reading into it too much. 1 Quote Dwarf Warrior I am today what I made myself yesterday, I will be tomorrow what I make of myself today.
