Many of us have busy lives, some times it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day. So how can we get back some time by shortening the time we spend in the gym, without affecting our results?! One answer is super setting.
Super setting is basically when you complete a sets of a different exercise instead of resting. See the example below for how this works.
Benchpress – set 1
No Rest
Dumbell row- set 1
No Rest
Benchpress -set 2
No Rest
Dumbell Row – set 2
And so on…
So you can see in the example above that when you would usually be resting, between sets you are moving on with another exercise. It is important that you pick either opposite movements or none related muscles, so you are able to complete each exercise toyour full capability. In the example you can see a pushing movement for the chest, followed by a pulling movement for the back. You could also super set biceps and triceps, shoulders and calves, legs and abs, etc.
Following the superset technique will shorthen the time you spend in the gym, and also increase the intensity of your workout.
