A little understanding
goes a long way.
What is a superset?
Two exercises done back to back with little or no rest, then a rest before the next round. Pairing opposing muscles (like a push and a pull) lets one rest while the other works.
Do supersets hurt strength gains?
Pairing opposing or unrelated muscles has little effect on performance and saves a lot of time. Pairing the same muscle makes the second exercise harder, which suits muscle endurance more than strength.
Is this calculator for me?
It suits anyone who lifts, from beginners to experienced lifters. Results are estimates. Technique, sleep, food and stress all change what you can lift on the day. Always warm up and use a spotter or safety bars for heavy sets.
