One of the greatest techniques that you can use to drive up the intensity of your workout along with the results that you are experiencing is that of supersets.
Supersets have been traditionally employed by performing two exercises, back to back with no rest in between. Most commonly, two opposing – or antagonistic muscle groups are utilized.
So you’d work your biceps with your triceps.
You’d work your quads with your hamstrings.
You’d work your chest with your back.
…And while these were great combinations, you can take this a step further. By structuring your supersets in a particular manner, you can crank up your ability to build muscle, burn fat, and get to the pinnacle of fitness.
Some of the major benefits they can bring include:
• Decreasing the total time spent exercising
• Increased metabolic demand. (More Fat Burn)
• Enhanced cardiovascular conditioning.
• Improved recovery time.
• Improved endurance.
In the program that I’ve designed, you aren’t going to be doing supersets for reps however as most programs would have you doing. Instead, you’ll be focusing on supersets for time.
I call these my Metabolic Supersets!
Essentially, you’ll perform as many reps of an exercise as possible in a given time frame and then immediately move onto the next exercise.
I’ve created different styles of Metabolic Supersets including
Foundation Building SuperSets, Fat Incinerating Full Body SuperSets, Defining SuperSets and Strength/Cardio Supersets
Today we will be focusing on
Fat Incinerating Giant SuperSets
These will have you doing four exercises in a row and will involve a push movement, a pull movement, a press movement, and a core movement.
For these you’ll be doing all upper body exercises plus your core move or all lower body exercises plus your core move. This allows you to really focus in on one half of the body, bringing yourself to a maximum state of fatigue. This gives these supersets supreme endurance boosting capabilities.
This Metabolic SuperSet set up will allow you to burn calories while building strength endurance and power. It’s a short high intensity but effective workout.
Today I will share 2 Giant SuperSets with you. One a regular superset using equipment and the other bodyweight only
