Re: Anyone super set

I do on occasion. Only if my body is non reponsive to training a certain muscle group.

Re: Anyone super set

I do every workout currently - but this is to help build up some endurance and get the heart rate up a bit to help burn some fat as I head into the cardio portion of the workout.

When I superset - it's more like a continous workout - superset, giant sets, etc.
Sometimes 3-4 exercises in a row and then repeat 4 times with only enough of a break to change the weight or get a drink of water.

I don't think it's optimal for maximum muscle gains long term or even short term but after having such a long layoff of training I have little muscle endurance and I can't lift heavy enough at this time. So it's just a conditioning phase for right now.

Later - I'll use supersets and dropsets to increase the intensity and it will usually be done every workout for the one main exercise with the remaining of the workout straight sets or possibly one final burn/pump set before finishing.

Re: Anyone super set

I superset mostly on my shoulders or tri's and bi's. Usually I break up my phases. supersets 4 weeks then strength. So far it has really kicked my stamina up and made me stronger.
