Superset training is a system of training where you perform a set of two different exercises one after the other with minimal rest in between each exercise.
In this article we are going to focus on push-pull supersets which are a great way to perform a high volume of work using opposing muscle groups. For example, if the first exercise was a bench press that would be classified as a push exercise followed by a bent-over row which is classified as a pull exercise.
This type of training results in an overall shorter workout time with controlled metabolic stress and increased aerobic intensity. This is achieved from the short rest period and the opposing muscle groups that are being used.
Throughout this article, we are going to look at how to apply and program for superset training, what the training program consists of and training recommendations.
