Use a ”drop set.” This method of resistance training can be used to overcome exercise plateaus. It is useful for increasing muscle strength, endurance and boosting the cardiovascular benefit of your workout – resulting in more fat burn.
Here’s how to do a drop set: When you perform an exercise to fatigue, don’t stop there. Drop the weight by 80% and do another set. You could take it a step further by dropping the weight twice, making it a double drop. You can even drop the weight three times for a descending drop set. Use this technique only once or twice per workout, on the final set of the exercise.
