Dymatize Project Mass Trainer: Cycle 1, Microcycle 2, Day 13

Today, you’ll be using two training techniques: supersets and strip sets, which are also called dropsets. When you do supersets, make sure you perform one exercise right after the other without rest. For example, you’ll go from the leg extension machine to the lying leg curl machine without even stopping for a sip of water. You can rest after each superset. By the end of the last set, you should have a massive, massive pump.

You’ll also be doing dropsets today. Dropsets are fun because you get to push your muscles beyond failure. After you complete your final rep on the last set of exercises that calls for a dropset, immediately drop the weight by 20-25 percent, then do as many reps as you can. Coupling dropsets with supersets is a recipe for some serious leg destruction!

If you need a dropset primer, check out the video below before diving into the workout.
