Post Your Favorite SuperSet ( or Giant Set )

**EME** · 10-11-2005, 01:42 AM

Hey everyone,

Let's hear your favorite Supersets that you use to really crank up the intensity in your training.

One of my favorites is actually a Giant Set for Shoulders consisting of:

Front Lateral Raises
Side Lateral Raises
and Bent Over Rear Lateral Raises

This one really sets your shoulders on fire.

I use this throughout my contest prep. to really rip up my delts.

What are some of your favorites?

Straight bar cable pulldowns supersetted with alternating bicep curls.
Incline Bench machine supersetted with pec dec
Straight bar curls supersetted with overhead ez bar tricep extensions.

I don't really use supersets or giant sets normally, but I think I'm going to try your lateral giant set a try EME. It sounds like a real shoulder killer.

It's a good one man.

I go for about 8-12 reps on each exercise.. with no rest between movements.

Then I rest for about 1-2 minutes between sets, and do three total supersets.

I generally only use about 20 lb dumbbells.

By the third set, my shoulders are absolutely blowing up!

I was pressed for time during my last leg workout so I tried super-setting leg press and squats. Pumped up my legs like crazy, but the poundages suffered a lot.

-Seated Calf Raise/Seated Calf Press
-DB Side Laterals/Bent Over Rear Flys

That's about it for my supersetting. I've supersetting bent over bb rows and pullups before, it was pretty fun.

i do alot of supersets with so many different exercises so it's difficult to choose....

a tough one recently was EZ bar preacher curls and barbell skullcrushers both for 20 reps a set.
