I Recommend Stripping Sets
stripping sets, drop sets

Do this on the last set of an exercise. Start off with loading up the weight with a decent base plate such as a 25lb plate and then smaller plates, 5 / 10 pound weights, then do as many reps as you can.
Aim for 8-10 or until you cant do another one, take off a 5 or 10 pound plate, do a few more until you cant do it anymore, and repeat, repeat, repeat... until you cant do it anymore.
The best part of this method is while you are training with leg extensions, 25 pounds are left on the bar and you can only get 4 reps! This technique really works and is one of my favorite ones.
Works great with leg extensions, triceps cable pushdowns, machine or plated loaded preacher curls and seated calf raises.
Does anyone else have an input on stripping sets? Recommend them or no?
