Weights in the Morning? This morning I managed to get up and do weights as well as my cardio. I typically don't feel awake or strong enough first thing in the morning. But I wanted to get it all done and out of the way. I treated today like Saturday since tomorrow I will likely not be able to get weights done. So, I worked biceps, triceps, shoulders doing drop sets of 4 sets of 8 reps starting with the heaviest weight and dropping in about 10% increments with each subsequent set. The exception is for the the last 3 exercises, which I did to failure. Biceps dumbbell curls Hammer curls Overhead triceps extension Kickbacks Dumbbell shoulder press Lateral raises Alternating curls with twist at top - 8 reps Lying dumbbell extensions - 10 reps Upright rows - 12 reps The key to drop sets is to make sure you know what weight increments you will need and have them set up and ready to go. You start with the heaviest weight and quickly drop down in weight with as little rest...
