Thoughts on supersetting

[Texan69]

Anybody use supersetting (fatiguing the muscle with isolation work before compound lifts) I’ve used it but never really had much success with it, curious of anybody here has some good workout routines with supersetting if so please share, I am looking to change up my workouts. for chest I’ll usually do flies and pullovers before pressing


Edit: meant to say pre exhausting not supersetting

Your definition of supersetting is not the standard.

Oh crap I meant to say PRE EXHAUST dammit I am tired lol, been out drinking the last two nights and still getting up for work, I am Brain dead. My bad guys.

You’d see better progress from not drinking.

Haha yes you are referring to pre-exhaust. not a big fan myself. If you're looking for something to change it up try alternate sets for a while. Do a chest exercise, rest, then do a back exercise, then do it again for 4-5 sets.

This is very true

I often do something like cable crossover before bench or nautilus lat machine before the rest of back. Not always, but time to time.

Leg extensions before leg press is a fun way to see what god looks like. (Old black lady surprisingly)

Leg extension before DEEP hack squats is my thing on days I hate myself.

Agreed thats not supersetting at all

You usually call it "fatiguing" the muscle/supporting muscles before compounds

I’ve seen people talk about pre exhausting but can’t say I’ve ever tried it.

I pre-exhaust my entire upper body by wrapping my knees before I squat.
