Do you mean dropsets for every exercise, or just the last one? I've done dropsets on the last set of the last exercise before, not sure if we're thinking of the same thing, though.

Edit: As I was leaving, I noticed there was a bar on the squat rack loaded with 2 10kg plates (so, 40kg total). And me being the curious person, I tried curling it. Got 6 good reps and it felt like I had more in the tank. I think I'm gonna be a bit of an ******* from now on and curl in the squat rack. Graduating from the mini-barbells, finally!

I have no idea, man.

The weight stack says 100kg, but I used only 1 pulley instead of hooking both pulleys together. With both pulleys I can get about 65 or 70kg for 12. Only hooked up 1 pulley today cause I was supersetting the pushdowns with the curls and didn't wanna waste time detaching and attaching the different handles. So I don't really know what the weights are, just writing down what I see

Though, it's much easier to lift with 1 pulley than 2. And that makes it stranger and harder to figure out how much weight it really is.

That's what I thought. You'd assume that using 2 pulleys would make the load easier to lift than using one. But it's the complete opposite for the cables in my gym. Load is much harder to lift with both pulleys. Strange, no?

Will do, boss! When I hit the gym later today!
