Body building techniques to build and increase body mass

Drop sets is a body building technique which involves doing a workout with a set of dumbbells, putting them down, and next picking up thelighter weight , and doing another set without stopping.

There is another way of varying this technique, for example, using the dumbbells on a rest or pause basis, doing the exercise until exhausted, putting down the weights for ten to 20 seconds, then forcing out additional reps. Another good exercise to use drop sets on is the leg extension machine.

If a plate or two is removed from the weights, you can do more repetitions. Take another plate off, and you can keep going even longer. Each time you do this, you are forcing the muscles to recruit more muscle fiber. This training principle is called the Stripping Method.

Don't use the stripping method at the beginning of an exercise when you are fresh and strong, but use it for your last set.

Since the changes in weight must be made quickly so that the muscles don't have time to recuperate, it helps to have a workout partner ready to slip off the plates off the bar. Don't go for weights that are too low as you won't grow by handling lighter weights.

A Superset is a body building technique, which consists of two or more exercises performed in a row without stopping and you can do even three exercises without stopping or pausing which known as tri sets.

You can use supersets to train two different body parts one after the other or you can do a number of exercises in a row for the same body part. Weight is moderate to heavy with minimal rest between exercises.
