THE SCIENCE BEHIND YOUR SUPERSETS

Understand the inner workings to ensure you’re squeezing more from your sessions

-

LASER FOCUS

Arm supersets localise ‘ the pump’ to your bis and tris, so your heart expends less energy shifting blood around the body, resulting in quicker muscle growth.

REST & RECOVERY

Antagonist­ic supersets give your muscles space to recover (your triceps work while your biceps rest and vice versa) while minimising wasted time.

TIMING MATTERS

Because your arms have a relatively short range of motion, it’s easy to rush. Try to lower under control and squeeze the opposite muscle (eg tris for curls) as you go.
