Drop sets - sometimes called strip sets - neither of which are mentioned in the above. An example of a drop set would be on say.. the leg press - 3rd working set, you do your reps - say 10 then strip about 30% of the weight off and do 10 more, then strip 30% more and do 10 more...no stopping inbetween (this is when a partner comes in handy)
