Weight Stripping - hardcore muscle building technique
Weight stripping requires a spotting partner to help you out during
a set. Your partner strips off weight as you approach failure on your
current weight. This is a great way to get a huge pump.
Example:
While doing a 240 pound bench press you are able to get 8
good reps out. After your eighth rep your spotting partner takes 20 to
40 lbs off of the bar and you continue your reps until you can't go any
further. Your spotting partner takes off another 20 to 40 lbs and you
continue until failure.
This is a really intense technique and shouldn't
be done more than 1 to 2 sets during a workout session.
