🌱 Do this for More Time-Efficient Workouts

QUOTE OF THE DAY 🌱

DO THIS FOR TIME EFFICIENT TRAINING

339 words | 1 min 14 sec read

If you could spend 20-30% less time in the gym and make the same amount of progress you would wouldn’t you?

When I first started training I would spent 90 minutes to 2 hours in the gym.

Nowadays my responsibilities have grown and I have less time to dedicate to gym sessions.

But I still want to make progress as an everyday athlete; grow muscle, develop strength, and build my endurance for race days.

So I need to be more strategic with my training.

That’s why I use Supersets.

Superset training refers to the “performance of two or more exercises in succession with limited or no rest between them.”

Supersets increase training density - the amount of exercise completed within a period of time (because of the less time spent at rest.)

We can achieve the same amount of training volume (sets completed) in half the training time using the superset approach

AND see similar improvements in muscle strength (vs traditional sets)

TRAINING TAKEAWAYS

Use Supersets in your training to build muscle and strength in HALF the time!

1) Use Agonist-Antagonist Muscle Groups

2) Use Same Muscle Group Supersets

3) Use Upper-Lower Supersets

Firstly I want you to see if your goal is clearly defined.

Then, look at your daily inputs (non-negotiable actions). Are they aligned with your goal?

You can begin to identify where you are falling short and start to making decisions that move you closer to the outcome you are striving for.
