how many reps for a drop set?

[jwbond]

i need to incorporate some drop sets, as i finished my 5s and do not have a spotter.

i am doing a week of 5rm followed by a week of 5rm and dropsets.


how many reps do you do for a drop set?


do you do a specific # like 10 reps?
or
do you go a couple reps shy of failure?
or
do you go to failure?

i believe the answer to your question is in the faq's. however, to answer your question it's a combo of number and feel. put it this way. you want to do a high amount of reps between 15 and 20ish, and go until you burn like you've never burned before. never go to failure.
