[0:00]Stop confusing these. Drop sets and super sets are not the same thing. A drop set is one exercise. You do it until you can't anymore. Then you lower the weight and keep going. No rest. Example: you curl, you fail, you grab a lighter weight and you keep curling. Same exercise the whole time. So with drop sets, the goal is simple. Keep the muscle working longer. More fatigue, more burn. Super sets are different. Now you're doing two exercises, one right after the other. No rest between them. Example: biceps curls, then triceps bench dips. So instead of one exercise getting lighter, you switch to a different move. That's the main difference. Drop sets equals same exercise, less weight, non-stop. Super sets equals two exercises, back to back, no rest. Drop sets feel like your muscles give up. Super sets feel like your lungs give up. Comment below which one you prefer and why.
