These make up the majority of my training program. I like them as same muscle or opposite muscle. It's not something you do to a program all at once, it can lead to overtraining in the beginning. We build up endurance as we go along.
I enjoy a good training discussion. I'm going to list my favorites of these sets. You are welcome to list yours.
SUPERSET - opposite muscle
LEGS curls/extensions
I feel like I really beat the shit out of them with this. I use them as a pre exhaust and to finish them off. I was trisetting with calves but I had to slow down the entire workout for a little more rest/recovery time. Legs are brutal enough, lol
TRISET- same muscle
DELTS front/side/rear
This one is actually a drop triset for laterals. It's the first exercise in a giant set. I start with 15lb dumbbells, hit all 3 then switch to 10lb dumbbells and hit all 3 again. This is the best shoulder finisher I've used, it made a visible difference as I have shoulder problems and stay away from heavy shit.
GIANT SET- opposite muscle
CHEST/BACK/BICEP/TRICEP/SHOULDER- Independent Arm Machine (IAM) incline press / IAM rows / IAM curls / pushdowns 1 arm at a time / DB shrugs.
I really like these giant sets. I built them up over time, I do 4 in the weeks training. A lot guys fear overworking but I believe it's a matter of under eating or not taking time to build up to it. Switch the whole program up and maintenance cals change quite a bit. If you hit 2 giant sets in a training period you are burning up considerable cals, I do anyways since I volume train as well.
