Is that accurate? How would that be a drop set if you're increasing the weight each set?

Not sure he understand the definition of "drop set"

No, I guess I don't understand the definition. Feel free to inform me gym God

So do you not know the definition well enough to explain it to me? I was legitimately asking. I spend my fair share of time in the gym but I don't wear rogue and gymshark stuff so I'm not privy to such definitions.

Thanks for clearing up that definition for me.
Didn't mean to hit a soft spot there ya big hunky Greek God

Do the workout yourself and let me know how it goes. I’m sorry if the rogue and gymshark comment was too much for you. Go snort some pre-workout and do some “CrossFit” pull-ups! #NoBull4Lyfe

Btw, your mom should’ve swallowed.

BTW I think the term everyone is searching for is rest pause

Also, I will add, instead of 10x10, you would do better taking 215 for 3x10 and then 1 amrap set. Get 12 reps or more, increase weight the next session.

I loved they we did it with Squatober with the doubles and triples. Triples kicked my arse more than I thought they would

You also stated that you do as many as you can. So at the end, essentially you are repping out 215 lbs to failure. Then you throw more weight on the bar and go to failure again?

I will do every set with the next weight until 225 regardless of how many reps I got on the set before with the lighter weight. All jokes aside, it's not a workout you will find from your local "certified" personal trainer. I first saw the workout when I worked out with an ex-military guy at a gym back home forever ago. He told me it was a workout he started doing when he was in Afghanistan to build muscle endurance.

I get that it isn't what's posted on a fitness influencers pages and shite but give it a try on your next chest day and let me know if you are successful. It's a bitch on those last 4 to 5 sets and will have your chest begging for mercy. Just something different to try and it gives me a goal to try to reach each week that I do it.

It seems to me like a lot of junk volume on the lower weight sets, and then being fatigued before you can really get going on heavy sets so you never progress. If you can bench 225 for close to 10 then most of the reps from 135-175 or so are just putting wear and tear on your joints.

If you’re looking for something different on workouts try this: LINK /

It’s comparable to 8x8 from a muscle building and strength gain standpoint but MUCH faster to do. I’ve 3/7’d bench, incline bench, shoulder press, barbell rows, and squats (not in the same workout but when running PPL) and it’s a great workout in a really time efficient manner.
