Decided to mix things up today and add drop sets to my last 2 sets of OHP and DL. OHP was a LOT harder. I'm supposed to do 6 heavy reps, drop the weight by 50% and immediately finish with 20 reps. I could only do 18 reps for the 1st drop set of OHP. Holy cow!! 2nd set of dropsets I was just barely able to do 20! Dropsets for DL was a bit taxing on the lower back but it had me sweating tons! Took a short rest period after RDL and went straight into supersets. My legs were on fire...safe to say I might have trouble walking tomorrow!

lol just a little bit that on top of activities on Saturday has me super sore today. I used the 6-20 method just because it was easier to follow. I'm curious to see if those drop sets will have an effect my OHP and DL on Wednesday. Do you work legs much?? I'm trying to lose mass around my thighs and I'm wondering if I should not train them so aggressively and maybe incorporate more cardio or something. Or am I being impatient and need to wait for the bf% to drop first?

...not to be confused with the 4:20 method...

love finishing off a workout with drop sets to really get some blood in that muscle...

I will usually try and finish with an isolation movement... I have no idea if it really does anything good but i love the way it makes the muscle feel...

Good to know! Maybe I will save the dropsets for isolation movements.

I've never avoided any body part. My whole body has thinned out. Keep working On dropping body fat. Your legs will trim down. Mine did. :-)

Agree w/ Ms Sawa --Keep doing what your doing!! Eventually you WILL see changes in your thighs. My leg's are the last to go as well and I think a lot of gal's hold more "MASS" ( I like that word) in their lower body. IMO...the harder you work your lower, the quicker you will see changes and the more cardio you do, the quicker you will lose b/fat all over.....

[AaronJP1]

Thick legs =
For me anyways.

Just remember that female fat distribution makes you store a lot of fat in your thighs and bum. Your lucky tho as you don't seem to hold much on the back of yours arms keep on keeping on dropping that bf and you'll get there

Cool thanks!! It's my least favorite body part right now. Trying on dresses the other day made me cringe!!
