Superset Exercise


Superset exercise- working out two or three different muscles without any rest between the exercise. If you are doing  workout for one muscle, the other muscle takes rest and vice versa. There are different kinds of superset,

  • Regular superset - involves similar muscles like biceps and triceps.
  • Antagonist superset - involves different opposing muscles like chest and back, shoulders and lats.
  • Pre-Exhaustion superset - involves isolation between the same muscle body workouts like biceps and chinups, triceps pushdown and benchpress.
  • Giant Superset- includes three or more exercise for full body workout without any rest.

The Superset are followed to reduce time duration for bodybuilding and effective pumping of muscles! It is one of the secret of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
