How to use supersets during your workouts! Supersets can be very beneficial to the bodybuilder who is trying to break a plateau or to the novice just trying to put on a little extra size.A Superset is performing to different exercises on the same or different muscles back to back. An example would be the bench press and chest flyes, taking your bench press to failure and then immediately change exercises to chest flyes and go to failure and repeat three to five sets. Supersets are ideal for breaking plateaus since the principle of overload says that there must be greater than normal stress for fitness adaptation to occur.
Three of the most popular supersets are the antagonistic superset-working opposite muscle groups, pre exhaustion supersets-working the same muscle with an isolation exercise followed by a compound exercise, and the Post exhaustion superset-this is the exact opposite of the pre exhaustion only you do the compound exercise before the isolation.
Supersets are a very great way to shock you muscles, and shocking the muscles is necessary in breaking plateaus (a period of time and we are not be able to to make any gains), or to just pack on a little extra muscle. I do superset workouts about every third work out to lean muscle and to prevent reaching a plateau.
