Hitchcock's fear of heights (altophobia) was obvious in his film Vertigo. He also had a fear of eggs (ovophobia). Hitâ¦ch had a life-long fear of police (politiaphobia). This fear is played out in his movie Psycho when the character Marion (played by Janet Leigh) is questioned and then followed by a suspicious police officer.
Drop sets is a technique where you drop the weight each time you do an extra set. For example, let's say I'm doing the seated barbell shoulder press with 185 pounds on the bar. I'd first do a set of 8 repetitions and rack the weight. I'd take 25 pounds off the bar and immediately do another 8 repetitions.
What are drop sets? Drop sets are essentially a technique where you perform an exercise and then drop (reduce) the weight and continue for more reps until you reach failure. Called the multi-poundage system, this method was discovered in 1947 by Henry Atkins, who was the editor of Body Culture magazine. The reason why drop sets work is that in any given set you are only recruiting a certain amount of muscle fibers. By then stripping the weight down and going lighter you recruit different muscle fibers, which should help the muscles achieve growth that couldnât be achieved by sticking with the same weight.
