To superset or not to superset... That is the question.



Superset:
A superset is a combination of one exercise performed right after the other with no rest in between them. There are two ways to implement a superset.

When to superset: Using supersets to exhaust other muscles/same muscles in a different way. Ex. Flat bench press followed by push ups with no rest. OR, Back Flies followed by bench press. Using supersets can increase the intensity of your workout as well as reduce training time.

When NOT to superset: I just to not superset on movements i am training for flexibility/ or coordination. This usually is a sub category of muscle groups such as flat flies for the chest and also specifically for all the tiny muscle groups of the shoulders. Take this with a grain of salt. Everyone is different, everyone learns differently, and not everyone can follow a planned routine and have it be perfect. This just works for me. mind you. i am 6 foot 5 and 200 pounds. so i am fairly lean and i have extremely long muscle fibers. So working small muscle groups helps me stabilize my larger muscles to help me perform better all together. Hope that makes sense for you. Anyways. here is the workout!
