What are SUPERSETS and Are They Even WORTH DOING?

[@PictureFit]

What's your favorite superset combo?

[@dunnobored]

PictureFit what would happen if instead of doing one set and rest I do the same amount total with multiple sets of the same exercise?

I started a superset workout plan last year and so far I feel like I've improved more than previous years when I would do traditional sets.

[@simplicated99]

I don't have time to go to a gym so I do my exercises at home. My combo: close arm push-ups --> pull ups --> dips --> bicep curls --> 2min rest. Repeat for 5 sets.

[@suvrosarkar4419]

Dr.StickFigure Dr what's your opinion on alternative medicine specifically homoeopathy and Chinese medicine

[@AbudBakri]

You're going to want to consult with your regular primary doctor about any type of alternative medicine. Much research is being done about this field and things are becoming more conclusive, but we aren't sure yet. There is however a bigger push for alternative medicine to be used in conjunction with western medicine. But like I said, consult with your doctor and have open dialogue to decide what are your best options.

I usually do a superset of similar muscles but only on non compound movements ie; two push muscle exercises like lateral raises followed by triceps rope push downs; or incline shrugs followed by incline dumbbell hammer curls.

[@Swolelifefitness]

[@metalmouth0413]

I like supersets on isolation lifts. Compound lifts, I like to concentrate on like Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift, Shoulder Press, Lat Pulls, Barbell Rows. I like to get all my big compound movements out of the way. After that, I like to do calf raises/triceps pushdown, or ab exercises/curls (cable curls, barbell, dumbell, etc whatever I choose). When I have time, I like to do other exercises like: leg extensions/chest flies or leg curls/rear delt pulls. Sometimes I like to combine and perform movements like curl shoulder presses with dumbbells. Sometimes I have to modify movements because of Arthritis so things at least stay in motion. I'll do Goblet Squats instead of barbell squats or Cable deadlifts instead of barbell deadlifts. I think it's important to just do things correctly, and the best one can while preventing injuries.

[@CarlosGutierrez-fy4wk]

I do full body workouts so I'll superset arms like over head tricep extensions with ez bar curl and cable rows with lateral raises, it feels amazing btw

[@PictureFit]

Nice!

[@josefernandez2341]

Great video and channel. Easygoing, clear and very practical. How about doing a video about isometric exercises and how do they help in developing strength?

[@JorgeMP53]

Thank you a lot for your info. Now i know the name of the training i've been doing for so long. You sir have gained another subscriber.

[@gabrielrangel956]

Sometimes I do agonist-antagonist 'supersets' but rest normally between exercises, eg Barbell Row, Rest, Bench Press, Rest ... I like how it feels on my shoulders and it keeps me from pressing more than pulling.

[@PictureFit]

Nice! Resting extra sounds good

[@jonasjakobsen484]

Gabriel Rangel haha then it is not a superset!

[@gabrielrangel956]

Jonas Santos It's alternating but the idea is still the same. To be honest, I take a short rest between exercises (30-45s) and a longer pause after the giant set (90s). It depends on how heavy I'm going

[@taoufik8565]

sweet! thanks man your videos are always so informative and helpful, keep it up!

[@midknight3350]

Last night, I did antagonist supersets with banded weights. So far, I haven't seen any research done on doing something like that, but I'm trying it out to see how well it goes.

[@Austin-rx3hz]

Keep up the awesome work!

[@PictureFit]

Thanks and will do!

[@pmlee1001]

I remember that you have mentioned in a previous video which said more rest equal to more gains. And I think this the reason why superset can boost your strength and muscle mass as there is more rest time by doing another exercise together

[@Latsjo]

Just got my new tank top in the mail today. Can't wait to sport it during summer to show how it all depends.

[@PictureFit]

That's awesome man! Thanks for the support!

[@chunhotong4166]

I mainly do superset as focusing on same muscles,like back row and anti back row,bicep curl and hammer curl it kills fat super fast and make my muscles pump every single time

[@ravishrestha9495]

Do a video on Calisthenics please. Like how to go on into advance calisthenics and some of the advance calisthenics.

[@stevenni8249]

PictureFit Can you focus on skill training like front lever and planches

[@gabriel7932]

I like doing supersets with a concentric heavy and an eccentric heavy exercise, eg bench press + pec dec fly

[@SquatFull]

I have added APS as part of my training the back and chest; the biceps and triceps; and quadriceps and hamstrings. The pump from training agonist-antagonist muscle groups with supersets is tremendous.

[@miqqe93]

Great video as always man! Maybe giantsets next?

[@PictureFit]

[@matthewshults3]

4 days a week. back and bi's 3 supersets. 3 different exercises. Chest and tri's same. legs and shoulders same. cardio and abs. 1.5 hours in gym a day. Massive gains and weight loss.

[@tonysumman3345]

I love supersets ☺️👍🏾 saves me a lot of time and the pump is just amazing 🤠

[@ej_l2525]

I prefer doing circuits and supersets while combining it with tabata workouts,it's more less hassle when you prepare your own workout routine while im not on the gym on off days and not constantly depending on your coach what to do. You gonna learn by yourself.

[@BullZArTiC]

Another idea for a video: We know right now about macronutrients (proteins, fat, carbohidrates) and how to meassure them, but I would like to know about other nutrients and how do they affect in being fit, more specifically sugars, sodium(salt in meals) or even water for weight control.

[@276TheTruth276]

Contrary to popular belief, I DO superset Squats with calf raises and love it. I sometimes even alternate - so one squat then one raise, one squat then one raise etc. Bear in mind, I train at home with no squat rack and clean and jerk the barbell each set. If I didn't superset I'd need to double my clean and jerk, which isn't always bad, but could hinder my results to progressively overload.

[@Jim-is5yn]

Thanks for the great videos! Very informative and helpful. My favorite supersets are upper back and biceps.....and triceps and pectorals. But I think, after watching this video, I will mix it up a little and try to zero in on some more antagonistic movements! Thanks again!

What is a rear delt press?

[@sixtenove9621]

your videos are so helpfull i just subscribed :D

[@koutaconnor9453]

They're kind of annoying when you have to wait for someone that's taking up two machines/weights and you have to wait for them or if you're doing them someone might think you're done with the machine and take it while you're still doing your sets because you left.

[@grim1294]

I do four exercises back to back before rest, all on the same muscle group. ex:crunches, sit ups, reverse crunches, plank, then rest

[@Ex0dus111]

Superset is not the same as APS. Superset means hitting the antagonist musclegroup with no rest in between. APS allows for rest half the amount of rest time you would use between regular sets.

[@TrollfaceDarkBruhLmao]

Endurance is the main problem of this one 😂😂

[@armandolopez3652]

PicFit! Please make a video about water fasting and I will love you more! And longer!

[@luketaitfitness6224]

You only want to water fast for a maximum of 3 days, In this 3 days you will see great weight loss as the body can concentrate on detoxification and healing as its wasting no energy on food digestion, you'll see blood pressure levelling, healthier looking skin, you'll crave sugary foods less... However fasting for any longer than this can be terrible, you're now in a massive deficiency of vitamins and will have blood sugar issues... So it does sound great, however it's been proven to be a lot less beneficial than intermittent fasting, using herbal supplements and so on, however there is nothing stopping you implementing a water fast in to your diet once a week

[@deckarddwizardd1909]

I used to do supersets and giant sets because my trainer made me do so. Now I realized he's just rushing ne throughout the session. Now I only do supersets and giant sets when I am pressed with time.

[@legion7318]

very good video thank you

[@PictureFit]

My pleasure!

[@izzatbasahai]

i tried it for two weeks and it's really exhausting. i use for chest/back and biceps/triceps combo. you need to be will prepared for them by good meal/rest before any session.

[@N-DUR]

It's very simple, everyone who worked out seriously to gain strength will know that you can't do heavy pull ups and OHP in a super set. You will lag strength. But for isolation exercises like Curls and triceps extensions it's great.

[@Babymercy8]

You can still workout after being bit by a spider... I enjoy bicep rope curls, followed by tricep extensions. I also enjoy flat bench press followed by bent over rows

[@jacobsonmg]

I have been told that supersets help balance muscle groups and prevent injuries from having one group stronger than the other. e.g. shoulder injuries from doing large amounts of pushup/bench press and not as much pull up/row type exercises. Does this claim hold any weight?

[@AzureSymbiote]

Thank you.

[@PictureFit]

You're welcome!

[@TheBully010]

The only two exercises that I'll always superset leg curls and leg extension.

[@rickniu4153]

Maybe the results from super setting may have to do with the fact that people often do sets in ~20-30s so a superset puts the person into a state of ~50s of high intensity training which is often recommended for best amount of time under stress for gainz? possibly?

[@Edwardo160]

I do at least 1 superset excercise for every muscle . Not randomly , my coach taught me them

[@dg1685]

During the 10 years of traning in the gym I have tried multiple programms and I want to share this particular which I must think that I myself invented it cuz I havent heard anybody doing it. So it is a tradicional upper lower body split 2x a week upper body and 2x a week lower body and the same routine is performed on thoes days so : UPPER BODY : 1)TRIPLE SETS CHEST TRICEPS- what that means ya do a bench press which you prefere that day without brake you do pushups or dips and then ya do a triceps exercises which you prefere that day. WITHOUT BRAKE REPEAT THAT FUCKING CYCLE 3 TIMES 2) TRIPLE SETS BACK BICEPS- ya do classic pull ups or australian pull ups and without brake you go on some BACK MACHINE and without brake you go to do a biceps exercies. REPEAT THAT 3 FUCKING TIMES WITHOUT BRAKE 3) SUPERSET SHOULDER- ya combine shoulder press which ya prefere with LATELAR RAISES, NOT FRONT RAISES NOT REAR DELT FLYS ONLY FUCKING LATERERAL RISES. You do a set of shoulder press superset that bitch with a lateral raise. WHY NOT FRONT OR REAR DELTS??? BECAUSE THEY WORK IN EVERY FUCKING BACK OR CHEST EXERCISES 4) STRETCH You are out of the GYM in 30-40 min WITH GETTING YOUR CHLOTES OF AND ON LOWER BODY : 1) SUPERSET LEG EXTENSIONE AND SQUAT AND 4X TIMES WITHOUT A FUCKING BRAKE. If you have lower back issues superset that leg extensione with some fucking MACHINE SQUAT OR LEG PRESS 2) SUPERSET DEADLIFT AND LEG CURLS WITHOUT A FUCKING BRAKE 4X TIMES 3) DO 150- 250 reps on calves in WHATEVER NUMBER OF SETS BUT THE MINIMAL NUMBER OF REPS PER SET MUST BE 25 !!!!!! 4) STRETCH You are out of the gym in 30-40 fucking minutes. IF YOU ARE NOT A PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER this programm shall be just fine to build muscle. IF YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER do a fucking classic bodybuilding trening IF YOU ARE NOT A PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER DONT FUCKING DO FUCKING PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER TRANING I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER AND I HAVE BEEN DOING PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDING TRANING FOR 5 YEARS, I FUCKED UP MY BACK SO BAD THAT I COULDT SIT WITHOUT A PAIN IN LOWER AND UPPER BACK FOCUS OND INTENSITY AND VOLUME OF TRANING AND NOT ON FUCKING WEIGHTS IF YOU ARE NOT A PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER Whoever reads this I whish you a LONG AND HAPPY AND FUFFILED LIFE WITHOUT INYURIES AND PAIN, CHEERS

Rusty Shackleford Try listening to music, having a gym buddy. But yes, this will help you a bit. Hope I helped you.

[@MikeandSamonPC]

Rusty Shackleford for me I hope I never lose this motivation that I have going on. Been working out for 8 months and it is really addicting, sometimes go 2 a day and it's where I hangout with some of my buddies . The only time I get demotivated is when I don't have enough energy and didn't eat right so when I go the gym, I have no energy. Also I go because I enjoy working out and seeing the results and it builds me confidence. Everyone that sees me says wow your getting bigger, you look different , etc

[@joshjohnston7388]

Set yourself small, incremental goals. Try to beat a recent top set by five pounds. Deload and test every few months. Something, anything to give you a little more to shoot for. Because that's the rub... great results take long term consistency. There's no finish line in this game. You don't have to be Mr or Mrs Gym Life All Day. Few people have the resources to keep that up. Just find little things that keep you going from short term basis to short term basis. Next thing you know, it's a habit, and "motivation" doesn't figure. I don't wanna squat today, but I gotta. It's squat day.

[@gigdg]

Get addicted to the results and you'll always have a reason to go. Discipline is needed, not motivation.
