On the arms day of the 5 day split, would you do a drop-down after triceps and again after biceps?

Did this with my shoulder workout today – could barely lift my arms enough to shampoo my hair when I showered after! Using the the Lowe rep range with THT, when would you implement this? Every set, or just on the last set?

In reply to TheCHISportsFan. @TheCHISportsFan. The 1set weight is too heavy. You need to go lighter on that 1set. Then drop the load by 10% to make sure you get between 8 and 12 reps on that 2nd set.

So after reading THT I’m only confused about 1 thing. If (using your bicep curl example) I struggle get to 7 reps on my first set and fail on 5 reps on my second set – am I better off to go with a lower weight that gets me to 10 and 8 reps (especially with better form)?
