Drop Set Strength Workout

Today we are hitting a few of the strength basics: Deadlift, Press, Squat, and Row. However, we are going to complete them in "drop sets", meaning you will decrease weight and increase repetitions each round.

Drop sets are often used to rep until failure for maximal muscle hypertrophy. In today's workout we will use a modified version, where the number of repetitions has already been set.

The kettlebell weight is up to you, so if hypertrophy is your goal, by all means choose a weight that will get you to failure on that last round.

If your goal is not hypertrophy, the main theme here is just that the weight decreases as repetitions increase - which will give you a nice burn. ;)
