How To Use SUPERSETS To Maximize Growth

It will good if you show us a video.

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

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

So this is another version of drop sets😊

loved it

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

What about hams curls and then leg extensions

I have some questions.

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

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

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.

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

I love this guy

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

Mike Mentzer talked about this

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.

Is a superset workout plan available in the RP app?

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

My muscle are always flicking cigrets off and gotta work excruh

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

Incredible video

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

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.

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

is it good to do leg extentions with hack squat?

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

Love this

And for biceps ?

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

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

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.

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

Thank you

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

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

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

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

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

Mike❤😂

wow

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

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

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