How To Build Muscle Up With Supersets
Exactly what is a superset?
A superset is a combination of two or more weight training exercises done consecutively after one another with no break between them. The exercises should be training opposing muscle groups. For example a set of squats immediately followed by hamstring curlstricep or a set of tricep press downs followed by barbell curls.
Why do Supersets?
First of all they are more than likely a good break from the routines you may have previously followed. They place a new and different stress on the muscles which gives them additional stimulus to grow. When you do away with the rest intervals there is very little chance for you to be put off from your training goals. Also after doing a superset you will more than likely feel a powerful muscle pump whereby the muscles are literally being pumped full of oxygenated blood to help cope with the demands which is a real good feeling. Overall they are a great way to build muscle up fast.
Doing supersets prevents you from cooling down to quickly and keeps your heart rate higher creating an almost aerobic workout too. Another great thing about supersets is the excitement and variety that they bring to your workouts.
What supersets should I try?
The following combinations are some of my favourite and provide a tough but satisfying workout: Bent bar curl/lying tricep extension, Dumbbell incline press/dumbbell pullover/seated lat row, Leg extension/leg curl/calf raise, Dumbbell alternate curl/overhead tricep extension, Bench press/wide grip pulldown, Chins/dips/rope tuck, Steep dumbbell shoulder press/sidearm lateral raise,
What tips can you give me when doing them?
Well, you would be wise to maintain strict form throughout the exercises. It is all to easy to get carried away with it and start using sloppy form. This even more the case now as you are likely to be a lot more out of breathe then usual and you will be changing from one exercise to a different one very quickly. Keeping to correct lifting technique will ensure that you keep hitting the correct mucsle group and also reduce the chances of injury.
Anything else I should know in order to build muscle now with supersets?
Bearing in mind supersets are very intense you may not really want to be doing more than a couple of supersets, although this will vary on your fitness and experience levels. use a different superset each workout between your regular sets to avoid wearing yourself out.
It should also go without saying that you will have to continue to eat a lot of quality build muscle food, we all know muscle comes from excess calories so keep eating quality foods and also make sure you keep your water intake high. Finally, be aware that overtraining will slow your progress down and not speed it up. Pumping iron twice a week is probably ample for most people and will probably be too musch for hardgainers. Ok then, why not go ahead and build muscle up with supersets just make sure you bear the above guidance in mind. I can near enough gaurantee you will not be disappointed!
