Superset Me!

My weight training program wouldn't be the same without supersets. It not only saves time, but studies are showing that it can help you burn more calories and produce more of an after burn post workout when compared to traditional methods.

Supersets are simply doing two or even three exercises back-to-back with no breaks. There are many combinations and ways to use supersets. I typically use supersets with opposing muscle groups. For example, I'll do a set of bicep curls followed immediately by a tricep exercise resting only after I've completed both sets.

Please keep in mind that using supersets dramatically increases the intensity of your workouts. It's important supersets are not done on consecutive days for the same body part. Your body needs adequate rest between workouts to effectively build muscle.
