Super Sets


If your workout has stalled there is one simple change that can mix it up without even changing the exercises. Train one muscle group while your resting another. This type of training keeps your heart rate up and makes your workout super efficient.

Here's an example of a good, basic, total body lifting routine based on super sets:

Warm up first (always) with light calisthenics and/or cycling, rowing or elliptical.

Perform 3 sets of each combination of exercises. Take a very short break between sets.

Incline bicep curls X8 reps
Single arm tricep overhead extension X8/side

Dumbbell shoulder press X8
Walking lunges X20 steps

Pulldowns (or pull ups) X8
Bench press X8

Reverse curls on bench X20
Hyper extension X10
