Supersets

4 years ago, when I still went to the gym, they were a part of my bulking-program. They are brutal to do, but they do work to build strength quickly.

It depends on your fitness goal. Supersets are handy for completing your workout quickly. One muscle group rests while another works. For strength gains, doing each exercise with proper rest one exercise after another is best. For example, I do bench press, dips and tricep extensions for 5x5 for a workout. Because bench press is a compound lift, I won’t super set it. I need as much energy as possible so I’ll do 3-5 minute rests between sets before moving on to dips. Because dips and tricep extensions function as accessories to bench press, I need only rest 30 seconds between sets but I won’t superset them because they both work triceps. If I were to do a full body workout and each exercise works a different muscle group, I would definitely superset it. Just like you wouldn’t do two bicep workouts back to back days, you wouldn’t superset two exercises that work the same muscle group unless you take rests between each exercise.

Hi all,

I am 1 week away from completing my superset program so I am on the path again too decide what to do, I might redo Ironborn as did enjoy that.

so my question too you all is would it be possible to do supersets on the Ironborn program?
