01  ·  What this Series is

Drop It Week is a one-week Series structured entirely around drop sets. Five sessions, each targeting a different muscle group: shoulders, legs, back and biceps, glutes and hamstrings, then chest and shoulders to close. Every working set carries a drop. Load drops, where resistance reduces (two dumbbells to one, or a heavier dumbbell to a lighter one). Mechanical drops, where the form shifts to extract more reps from the same muscle (heel-elevated squats to flat squats, or push-ups to cobra push-ups). The protocol pairs intensity with technique; technique integrity is the through-line, not a casualty of fatigue.

02  ·  A note from Caroline

I usually reserve drop sets for the end of some workouts. This week is different. Five sessions, every working set built around the drop. Pace yourself. Recover well. The work this week is taxing in a way regular straight sets are not. Each rep should still look the same as the last.
