Drop Sets
A big argument against using supersets and circuits are that combing exercises results in using less weight on each exercise due to cardiovascular and systemic fatigue when no rest is given. As a bodybuilder you may not want to sacrifice heavy weights but still want to increase work done in a given time frame. So how do you keep the weights heavy but increase the amount of work? Drop sets. Drop sets are done by lifting a heavy weight for the prescribed amount of reps and without rest immediately lowering the weight to a fraction and continuing the sets. This allows both heavy weights to be used and the set length to increase.
