Supersets Workouts
Have your been working out for a while but your muscles no longer get sore and your progress is way too slow or even stopped? Then it’s time you learned about “Supersets”!
What are supersets?
A superset is when you do two weight lifting exercises in a row without resting in between; this greatly increases the intensity of your workouts giving you better muscle building results.
Here are the different ways you can use supersets in your workouts:
Antagonistic Supersets
This is when you use exercises for opposing muscle groups. For example, do barbell curls for your biceps and then with no rest do pushdowns for your triceps. That is one superset. Rest for no more then 2 minutes and do another superset, etc.
Pre Exhaust Supersets
This is when you first use an isolation exercise and then a compound exercise and then without rest do a compound exercise for the same muscle group. For example, do leg extensions followed immediately by the barbell squat or leg press.
Post Exhaust Supersets
This is when you first use a compound exercise and then an isolation exercise and then without rest do a compound exercise for the same muscle group. For example, do the barbell bench press followed immediately by dumbbell flies or pec deck.
