Method of Variation - Supersets & Dropsets

Feeling bored at your workout routine? Started to feel that your body has gotten stagnant with every exercises that you have thrown at it? Try these:

Superset (SS)
Perform 2 sets of different exercises consecutively. For example:
Scenario: Arms Workout
Exercise #1 – DB Curl: 10kgs x 10 x 3 (3 sets)
Exercise #2 – Hammer Curl: 5kgs x 10 x 3 (3 sets)
In terms of SS, you will combine both Exercise #1 and #2 as a single exercise, whereby you will do a set of DB Curl (10kgs x 10) and followed by a set of Hammer Curl (5kgs x 10). Repeat this for three times and you will have an exercise of 3 supersets

Dropset (DS)
For the same set of an exercise, extend each set by performing two (or more) sets of weights consecutively (begin with heavier ones and followed by lighter). For example:
Scenario: Arms Workout
Exercise #1 – BB Preacher Curl: 5kgs x 10, 10kgs x 10, 15kgs x 10 (3 sets)
In terms of DS, each set will utilize all three weight consecutively, whereby you will begin with 15kgs x 6, followed by 10kgs x 8, and lastly, 5kgs x 10 (with no rest in between of them). Repeat this for three times and you will have an exercise of 3 dropsets
