Supersets Power Workout

October 30, 2006

This is a workout that aims to balance strength levels of all the major muscle groups. This program will create proper body muscle balance and raise strength levels. Use it for 3-6 months depending upon your training goals.

You’ll train 2-3 days per week with exercises that increase overall muscular strength and with supersets, muscular endurance as well, leaving you with a total body balance of strength, power and agility.

For the supersets: Do the first set of exercise 1(a), then immediately do the first set of exercise 1(b). Rest the prescribed 1-2 minutes, then go on to the second sets of 1(a), 1(b). Follow this format for the prescribed number of set and reps. You can set your own set and rep scheme or follow a traditional three sets of 8-10 reps. The choice is always yours.

Notes: Train consistently and use whatever set and rep scheme you feel comfortable with.

Add weight to the bar whenever possible and get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must!Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
