Super Sets - Instructions
Super Sets start with seven basic exercises. These exercises can be changed or modified to suit your equipment and space. For right now, we will begin with these. - Bench Press
- Horizontal Flies
- Upright Rowing
- Lat Pull Downs
- Curls
- Tricep curls
- Squats
Click on each exercise for a description. (not active yet, but coming soon as soon as I am happy with my photos) We are going to repeat each exercise to a maximum of 12 times (a repetition or ‘rep). So, do 12 Bench Presses, then 12 Flies, then 12 Upright Rowing etc. until all of the exercises are done. You cannot do 12 of each? You have chosen too heavy a weight. It is easier to start light and move to heavier weights on another day. You have reduced the weight and now you can do the 12 reps of each exercise. Now, do 12 reps of each exercise again (this is the second set). Now, do a third set. How long did it take? More than 25 minutes? Wait until the next day and try it again. Keep trying every second day until your time is less than 25 minutes. A few workouts have gone by and you can now do three sets of 12 reps for each of the seven exercises in less than 25 minutes. Now what? Increase the weight. Do three sets of only 8 reps for each exercise. Time it. As soon as you are less than 25 minutes then increase the reps (use the same weight) to 9. Time it. As soon as you are less than 25 minutes then increase the reps to 10. Keep going in this manner until you can do three sets of 12 reps in less than 25 minutes. Then increase the weight again and start over at 8 reps. Finished? Have some water and go for a quick
bike ride.
