Super Sets
Super setting exercises is one of my favorite ways to train when I need to get my workout in but am short on time. Between juggling the house, kids, business, school, 2nd job and volunteering to be chaufers and coaches to our kid’s soccer, football teams act. Who has extra time? It is hard with all this extra stuff going on to make it in for a workout – if not from sheer exhaustion alone! 
So what I do is superset! Basically what a Super Set Does is pair up two exercises for the same body part like a Push Up and Bench Press for chest or; for directly opposing muscle groups like the biceps and triceps. The two exercises are to be performed one right after the other with no rest in between. So essentially you are cramming two different exercises into one set!
Not only does this give you a great pump in your muscles but it also gets your heart rate up a bit and incorporates a little more cardio into your workout – Who couldn’t use more cardio? Well I guess there are some of us who don’t have to do cardio – but that’s just wrong and disgusting alright. I was talking to this guy at the gym the other day who said he had such a hard time gaining weight that he would be picking up and eating extra calories off the floor if he could. Boy I wish I had that problem – Don’t you?
So if you’re short on time but need a great explosive workout try Super Setting your next workout! Here are some examples of workouts I like to do for myself and my clients.
