drop set
Decreasing weight repetitions
A drop set is a weightlifting technique where you perform an exercise to failure, immediately reduce the weight, and continue without rest.
The method exhausts muscle fibers more thoroughly than standard sets: I finished my bicep curls with a drop set, stripping plates until I could barely lift the bar.
