superset training plan

★ Posted on 12-11,2024

Equipment: mainly dumbbells, but also chest-clamping, back-pulling and squatting equipment.

The actual meaning of superset is antagonist muscle superset training.

This method can be used as a training method to break through the plateau period and suddenly increase muscle. At the same time, when one muscle group is contracted and trained, the other muscle group has a passive stretching effect, creating a complementary effect between the antagonist muscles. It has a significant effect on comprehensively improving the strength of the muscles that oppose each other backward on both sides of the skeleton.

Time schedule: Training 4 times a week, every other day.

Suitable people: Those who have strength training foundation for more than one year.

Weight selection: Try to use heavy weight training, and control it between 6RM and 8RM.
