How Get The Most Muscle Growth From Dropsets

How about a superset with machine chest fly + machine chest press?

Mike is over there supersetting making a joke and cringing at it by himself.

Good I’ll try this with isolation being single arm tri extensions followed by neutral grip incline dumbell press for superset next week

wow

Mike❤😂

You forgot to tell them to wear a crash helmet on the second exercise....🤣

Hi Dr. Mike, how do I count the volume of a superset or the following compound?
Are these counted as 2 sets for that specific muscle or as 1 ultra stimulative set since there is no pause between them?

Thanks in advance

Hi, so how'd you superset my pecs? I have trouble growing them

I experimented with supersets (antagonistic) long time ago, however, back then I didn't know they were called antagonistic supersets; every time I train I use this stlye of supersetting

mike is talking about pre exhaust and there's also post exhaust. I love doing these also. Another note on supersets, antagonistic supersets: you don't jump from one compound exercise right into another compound exercise.

Example of what I'm talking about; OHP, wait 90 seconds then chin ups then wait 90 seconds and do another OHP, 90 sec then chins etc etc until you're finished all your sets

Thank you

I want to know what Doc's triceps are smoking because I want triceps like him!

63 now. Full body workout supersets have been even better than for me the last several years. Plus I don’t try to work to failure. Let’s me get in 3 to sometimes 4 resistance workouts per week without much soreness. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed some new tricks that I will put into action.

Hey guys! Has anyone tried this method with side laterals and overhead presses?

Is there a good way to do this for chest, side delts and back?

And for biceps ?

Love this

What's a good superset combo for targetting the lateral head of the shoulder

is it good to do leg extentions with hack squat?

should I do my sets on the isolation or compound movement?

Honestly one of my favorite way to do superset is to get some calf work done after i got 1-3 reps left in reserve on the incline leg press but thing is the burn in my feet muscles burn is just insane so if anything it's more of a maintenance thing for the calfs.

I’ve trained with agonist supersets for years and I love it. Craziest pumps you’ll ever get.

Incredible video

So if i want to train my chest with barbell bench press it could help to tire the triceps with skull crushers?

My muscle are always flicking cigrets off and gotta work excruh

Imagine being strong enough to fry your triceps before doing dips!

Is a superset workout plan available in the RP app?

Just want to ask a question about the supersets I do isolations workouts 3 to 4 workouts isolating the muscle group to get better games??is it good or just terrible.

Mike Mentzer talked about this

This needs a hell of a lot more explanation than what you've provided. Some detailed examples, like providing an example in the gym, would help considerably. For instance, would you do some peck fly or peck deck and then follow it with a bench press?

So, I just super setted bench press and dumbbell pullover. The only thing it did was make me weaker on both

I'm running a 12 week training study, participants train twice per week full body in the lab (1 hour sessions). We are measuring hypertrophy through muscle thickness of the bicep, VL and tricep. My question is, would it be reasonable to implement agonist supersets targeting each of these muscle groups in the same session (pushdowns super set with DB bench, leg extension with belt squats and DB curls with supinated pull downs) or overkill? Participants have at least 1 year of resistance training experience. Thanks

What are the best supersets to activate the chest instead of the triceps?

What about supersetting every workout everyday? ive been doing this for years its feels normal now ?

I do a lot of supersets for arms. A tricep exercise into a bicep exercise. For example, dumbbell skullcrusher into standing dumbbell curl, or overhead dumbbell extension into dumbbell hammer curls, and have gotten great results from it.

I love this guy

Dr. Mike reminds me of John Meadows good guys sharing essential knowledge for free.

Dr, question, how about supersets that targets the same muscle, but in a differet tipe of movement? Example, bench press (dumbells o bar) and pec fly; or RDL and leg curl.

I've been doing supersets without knowing what they are, it just made sense.

I have some questions.

1. In terms of strength progression, how good are agonist supersets?
2. Can anyone recommend a good agonist superset routine?

What about hams curls and then leg extensions

Isn't this the same idea as doing pre-exhaust training but with pre exhaust your getting more rest before the compound so you get more quality sets

Doesn't make sense to superset the same muscle

Supersetting opposing muscle groups makes total sense though

Your getting more work in a shorter time and more of a cardio gain also.

If you cardio or systemic fatigue is limiting you with opposing muscle supersets then you have an issue with your cardio, there's no other excuses.

Supersets are not designed for strength gain they are meant for hypertrophy, time saving and the cardio benefit

loved it

So this is another version of drop sets😊

What if you doing lat pulldown x with BB row? Or DB hammer curl x with BB curl?

I'm going to try to superset calves raises to squat or hack squat on a lower intensity/higher volume day. Never tried it but I'm curious. Maybe raises second... I'll try both

It will good if you show us a video.
