Quadruple Drop Set Squats?

[The True Adonis]

Epic Win or Epic Fail idea?

[The True Adonis]

It would work like this.

Start at 315 and do as many as possible
Drop 30 lbs to 285
Drop 30 lbs to 255
Drop 30 lbs to  225
Drop to 185
Drop to 135   

Repeat for 4 sets.

I already do it on Leg Press and it bores me.  Hurts but is unbearably boring.  Plus I am sick of schlepping plates on and off the thing.  The last thing I want to do is unload it after an epic session of hurt.

The only problem i see is you will need 2 people to strip the bar,if not you will have to break stance strip bar get back under it get youre stance again....

Yah thats what I will have to do, which I don`t mind as it at least provides a few seconds of rest.

That's a quintuple drop! I think you'd get all the benefit and less of the loss of focus/chance of injury by 315x8-10 then going to 225x6-8.

Epic Win or Epic Fail idea?

Ya know, i am a huge fan of drop sets but on some exercises i am just not a fan, and Squats are one of them.

By the 2nd or third drop, i would be concerned with the lower back / core structural strength and that i would be at a huge injury risk during the 4th drop set.  Granted doing it once every now and then might not be bad, but as a staple in a leg workout, i think it is tooo risky for the rewards.

Epic Win or Epic Fail idea?

done em....


not worth the pain....and the FACT that you r pretty much useless after 4 sets of them for the rest of the day....

so ..go ahead and do em...if u have no job....life and/or girlfriend  

[JimmyJam1974]

Dropping 30 lbs per set seems like too much wasted effort. Taking off a plate then adding weight to net 30 lbs. The concept though seems like a win. At least try it for shocking the muscle

Epic Win or Epic Fail idea?

Constitutes overtraining.

[The True Adonis]

I was thinking that the back would take a beating that may not be worth it, especially after reading some of your thoughts.  Perhaps I will do this on a Leg Press Pin Loading Machine (which I have done many times already) to get all of the back out of it.

Any more stories or thoughts from those who have done Drop Set Squats?

BAHAHA! Still living in the past huh?

Whats the UF-UGA record over the last 10 years? something like 8-2? lol. Seriously, think the pups can keep it with-in 21 pts this year ??lol

I talked to a coach in the SEC last week and he said Ritch MUST win 9 regular season games in order to keep his job. Can you say bye bye?

Ummm you might wanna refer to www.westside-barbell.com in the future for your strength training questions. Or you can just ask me

Now get your ass back in the gym you little pup! BAWawAW!

The lowewr back will take a severe beating for sure.

I`d do:
315
225
185

On the 185 set,use a close stance,toes pointed straight ahead,go down to rock bottom,come up,then go halfway down,that`s constitutes one rep.....repeat until puking.

2-3 sets should be enough for even the most masochistic.

Heres what i ve been doing lately

walking dumbell lunges 15reps on each leg then superset with barbell squat for 20 reps

4 sets more weight each set.

Do not try if you have a heart condition by the time its all over its beating out of your chest, but a great strenght and cardio workout
and only takes about 15 min of total concentration.
