    Hi,
    I am confused on how to treat the exercises that note “Perform a drop set on your last set, to failure.”

    For example, on day 2 for the Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press it says to do 4 sets of 10-12 reps.

    Do complete the first three sets at a heavier weight and then on the fourth set, drop the weight?

    Thanks,
    Jessica

    On the 4th set perform the 10-12 reps as you did for the prior 3 sets. Then drop the weight to the next level down and go to failure.
