This Muscle Buster technique ranks among my all-time favorites.

This classic bodybuilding principle should be applied when looking to drive the target muscle to complete muscle failure, and can lead to some spectacular sets!

A traditional Dropset has three parts:

The Main Set; perform your target number of repetitions.
The Drop; drop the weight by about 30% and continue to force out more reps.
The Mop; drop the weight AGAIN and mop up any remaining energy with a few more reps.

Dropping the weight allows you to continue beyond muscle failure.
