Supersets...

[ZZuluZ]

I don't view it as a way to increase intensity.

Usually even minor changes will leave you with a great deal of strength. Even just changing grip.

It allows you to do so much more volume which is a plus. It also saves time.

Is there any info backing it though? Recruiting fibers, blood flow, etc... I would really like to know what i am actually doing when i do supersets.

What do you want to know?

It's like going from one exercise to another but without rest.

There's nothing magical about it.

Except for intrappeditative adenosine residue synthesis resulting in massive supecompensation!

I do think that supersets (for the same muscle group) can be effective for a short period of time. It is almost like doing a dropset for me...

I used to use supersets to pre-exhause my quads or hams and I would also superset flat bench press with incline dbell flyes...

Use in moderation...

Would like to see Cornholio's thoughts on this...

I recently started doing supersets on my bi/tri day.
It's a hell of a workout and i can see more definition as a result.

Do you superset bi with tric? Or do you do a super set of biceps then do a superset of triceps?
