On the mission of finding ways to make training more difficult for yourself hence reaping more reward, many people often come across the exercise of a ‘superset’. What exactly is a superset and how does it make workouts more challenging?
The concept of a superset is to perform 2 exercises back to back, with a brief resting period afterwards, but not always. This effectively doubles the amount of work you are doing or halves the resting time you get. It also keeps the recovery periods the same as they are as you complete a full exercise.
Performing supersets are a great way to maximize your time in the gym. As gym times get harder to book during this summer season, supersets can effectively double the amount of work you do during your workout.
Supersets with Anabolic Steroids
If you are used to working out while cycling on anabolic steroids, or just getting started and doing your research, you will likely have heard of performing supersets, or ultra sets, which is 3 or 4 exercises back to back instead of just 2. How does this make any sense?
Well, when utilizing the effects of popular steroids like TNT-450 and Winstrol, your body heals rapidly and allows your muscles to stretch and stay strained for longer periods of time. This effectively allows you to perform more exercises before feeling the need to rest, and the tolerance of lifting heavier weights. When combined with endurance steroids like Sustanon 250, your body enters full berserk mode, allowing you to both heal faster and train for longer periods of time.
The Best Exercises to Do for a Superset
While there are a lot of exercises you can do in a superset, ranging from simple workouts like pushups, ab exercises, and jumping jacks, we dive into more complex exercises that work more parts of your muscles:
Good superset exercises involve compound movements – exercises which move across multiple joints and therefore activate multiple muscle groups such as squats. They can also be isolation exercises, which focus on one particular muscle group like chest flies.
When to Perform Supersets
The best times to get into a superset workout is when you’re fully rested and chilled. This means, during the summer months, it is recommended to perform supersets in the early morning or after the sun has set, around 6 to 7pm. This will allow you to stay cool while focusing on the movements, letting you train for longer without the discomfort of heat.
