Blood Volume (shoulders) — the side-delt finisher.

Execution

Start around 10 reps with a weight you can still control, then strip 5–10 lbs and keep going, drop again, and continue dropping until your arms alone can barely raise the weight. Maximum blood volume in the delt.

The cue that matters

Keep the form identical as the weight drops — drop the weight, not the form.

Common mistake

Letting the reps get sloppier as the weight comes down; the last drop should be the strictest, not the loosest.
