In 480 B.C., the new Persian king sent a massive army across the Hellespont to Thermopylae, where 60,000 Persian troops defeated 5,000 Greeks. The year after that, however, the Greeks defeated the Persians for good at the battle of Salamis.
1. (Weightlifting) the sport of lifting barbells of specified weights in a prescribed manner for competition or exercise.
What is a double drop set in weightlifting? Answer Wiki. It's one set with your normal weight (generally to failure), then immediately reducing the weight to allow you to perform a few more reps, followed by a further reduction in weight to allow a few more reps to be performed. Each of the reductions in weight is the 'drop' aspect so three reductions in weight would be called a triple-drop set. It's a technique to exhaust muscles beyond what you get with a single set.
