Superseries Training (Superset)

1. What is it?

The article I would like to cover is essentially based on the superseries a technique very popular in the bodybuilders of the 70s.

What is superset or superset training? It is a type of training that includes two or more exercises (in this case, however, we will begin to talk about tripleset or giant set) performed one after the other without a break. The muscles involved can be opposite muscles such as the chest and back, the antagonist muscles or those muscles that oppose the movement of which the agonist muscle is directly responsible such as the biceps which in the contraction phase allows the antagonist muscle that is the triceps to relax allowing it the movement; or supersets of the same muscle group.

2. Superset Training (Superset): How To Practice It?

The peculiarity of including these exercises in our training routine lies in the fact of, first of all, awakening our muscles and making them much bigger then also on a psychological level getting a huge pumping in two areas at the same time would make us feel invincible. and it would give us a greater mental charge then, if performed correctly using the range of movement, the supersets can help improve the mobility of the joints as in a superset for biceps and triceps the former stretch while the latter contract.

A week of training using this technique can include the following exercises:

Enter at the end of each workout 4 sets of abs for example the crunch to cables or parallels by performing from 20 to 30 repetitions.

Small tips to be at your best in the execution of this very intense technique but with great results: first of all I think it is fundamental mental preparation and maximum concentration on what you will have to perform in the gym, so try to focus and visually imagine the exercises to be performed before even performing them. This will allow you to load up to the maximum sooner and maintain a remarkable standard of performance during training.

 

Some advice

Remember that rest is closely linked to your performance so sleep at least eight hours a night before working out and if you have the opportunity take advantage of a rest at least a couple of hours before going to the gym.

Eat enough in order to have a good caloric component available during training and nourish your muscles at the end of each session with the delicious Recovery xs a supplement based on carbohydrates quickly assimilated by the body so as to restore reserves. of glycogen and impact whey protein, the best for the development and maintenance of lean mass; in my opinion one of the best products on the market as regards the post workout as it has all the necessary ingredients for an immediate and tangible recovery.

Conclusion

I conclude by telling you that always using this type of technique can be harmful as it would reduce its effectiveness and increase the risk of injury. I recommend it to complement the traditional series and whenever you are dissatisfied with a certain part of the body as the secret and magic of the supersets will allow you to bombard your muscle fibers and saturate the area with blood giving you an extreme pump.
