HTML Version	<h1>Supersets - The 6 Different Shocking Techniques!</h1> © By: <a href='http://fileblogs.com/index.php?page=author&author_name=Patrick+Flaven' target='_blank'>Patrick Flaven</a><br><br> <br> <p>So you have heard of the advanced training principle called a superset. Basically, a superset while weight lifting, is performing one exercise right after the other with no rest in-between the 2 sets. Traditionally it is used for opposing muscle groups, for example biceps and triceps or quads and hamstrings. The following 6 techniques are variants of the traditional superset that we outline first.</p> <p>1. Compound Superset - This type of superset is done by 2 sets for the same muscle that are very similar. A perfect example would be doing calves, standing calf raises followed directly by seated calf raises.</p> <p>2. Isolation Superset - This superset is the combination of 2 isolation exercises followed one after the other for the same muscle group. For example try doing concentration curls followed by seated incline dumbbell curls.</p> <p>3. Pre Exhaustion Superset - This method is done by choosing 2 exercises for the same muscle. The first exercise is an isolation movement such as leg extensions. The exercise immediately following the leg extensions should be a hack squat leg press. This is a single joint movement followed by a multi joint movement.</p> <p>4. Post Exhaustion Superset - The exact opposite of number 3, pre exhaustion supersets. Choose a multi joint exercise and follow that by doing a singe joint exercise. Stiff leg deadlifts followed by lying leg curls.</p> <p>5. Tri Supersets - This is basically 3 different movements done right after each other. You can do a compounding set followed by an isolation movement, or a compounding set followed directly by an exercise that involves the opposing muscle.</p> <p>6. Staggered Superset - This is done by doing a Lower Body exercise followed directly by a Lower Body exercise. Use this method to train your lagging body parts such as delts or calves as you can really squeeze quite a few more sets in.</p> <p>Take these new and advanced superset techniques and implement them into your workout, the next day you will be surprised!</p> <br> <p>Brought to you by Patrick Flaven owner of TopBodybuilder.com</p> <p><a target="_new" href="http://www.TopBodybuilder.com">http://www.TopBodybuilder.com</a> - Web Guide for Bodybuilders and serious minded athletes</p> <p>© Copyright 2006 <a target="_new" href="http://www.TopBodybuilder.com">http://www.TopBodybuilder.com</a></p> <br><br> Read more Articles on <a href='http://fileblogs.com/Muscle-Building&category_102' target='_blank'>Muscle Building</a> at <a href='http://fileblogs.com' target='_blank'>FileBlogs.com</a>
