10 sets of 1 rep

That's a lot of sets for a max effort 1 rep. Maybe you should go back and look for context clues OP.

or throw that magazine in the garbage with the rest of the trash.

I would be more inclined to say maybe 1 set of 10 reps? But that's ludicrous as well. Ignore that BS

[chazzy1864]

He mentioned drop sets. So that is probably why it is 10-1 reps.

However, I think OP needs to read the magazine again, and provide a more concise description for us to say anything more.


I doubt ANY magazine, or semi-logical workout would have someone do 10 sets of 1 reps on arm exercises.

maybe a set of 10 reps...then 9 reps..then 8...etc
