Superset

[chris.weksos]

I need a example of a super set??

Supersets are when you perform two exercises back to back without rest in between.

Example:
Barbell Curls 5x95 followed by Hammer Curls 5x25 (no rest between the two) (reps x weight)

That help any?

Another example would be where you work antagonistic muscles. Eg Biceps immediately followed (no rest) with Triceps (eg Cable Curls followed by cable pushdowns).

Kind Regards

A superset can be anything you like. The idea is to work the muscles harder by not allowing rest between exercises.

I would like to say thanks to Dave and Justin on behalf of Chris
