Ready for a workout change? Superset workout may be something you want to give a try.

What is a superset workout?

It is a workout based around supersets. A superset is when you do another set of a different excercise, quickly after the previous set. It is not to be confused with drop sets, which are multiple sets in a row of the same excercise with no rest.

There are 5 main types of supersets.

1) Isolation Supersets Two isolation excercise sets done in a row.

2) Staggered Supersets Two excercises in a row of completely unrelated excercises. Example, bench press then calf raises.

3) Compound Supersets Two compound excercises in a row for the same muscle group. Not recommended for beginners due to intensity.

4) Pre Exhaustion Supersets You first pre-exhaust the muscle with an isolation then do a compound for the same muscle group. Example, chest flyes then bench press.

5) Post Exhaustion Supersets Opposite of Pre Exhaustion supersets.
