Strong, vibrant and full of mojo every day.
You used to work out 4-6 days a week, do cardio and be rigid with your diet.
Then as you got in your 30’s, it was your business and team that got your attention.
Now in your 40’s, it’s juggling between business, wife, kids and team.
You’d love to lift more, but your schedule just doesn’t allow it.
So you’ve lowered your expectations and settled for a middle class body.
If you’re nodding your head right now, then I’ve got your ticket to break out of the middle class.
Because a man of your caliber doesn’t hang in there, whether in finances nor fitness.
Your ticket to get six pack lean and look and feel better than you did in your 20’s are supersets.
Supersets allow you to cut your workout in half while still looking jacked.
Before I get into more detail, allow me to give you a bit of context first.
Conventional workouts have you do a series of exercises with a series of reps and sets.
Example:
4 sets of Barbell Bench Press @ 6-8 reps.
Once you’re done, then you go to:
4 sets of Dips @ 8-10 reps.
Followed by:
4 sets of Cable Flys @ 10-12 reps.
Then you jump to the next muscle group.
4 sets of Cable Rows @ 8-10 reps.
Between each set you rest 2-3 minutes.
About 1.5h later you’re done.
There’s nothing wrong doing it this way if you’ve got a lot of time on your schedule.
Yet if you’re a man in his 40’s who’s short on time and want to get results quick, those mainstream workouts don’t fit your schedule very well.
This is where supersets come in.
A superset is a specific type of workout set where you perform two separate exercises back to back without rest between them.
There are 3 types of supersets:
– Antagonistic
– Compound
– Alternate peripheral
The type of superset you choose will depend on your overall goals for training.
Majority of the workouts in the Kinetic Method use antagonist sets, with a small mix of the other two.
It’s why the guys I work with are able to get six pack lean and jacked with just 3 weekly workouts at about 45minutes.
The most simple way to explain a superset is to do 2 back to back exercises without any rest.
When you’re doing supersets in which the first and second exercises in the pair work different muscle groups, the muscles worked by the first exercise will have already gotten some rest while you performed the second exercise.
This allows you to use the time you rest between sets to train another muscle group.
And it cuts your workout time in half without sacrificing results, unless you’re training solely for strength.
If that’s the case, you should take 2-3 minutes of rest.
But if your goal is to look jacked, this will work very well for you.
Another win of using supersets is they get your heart rate up.
Because you’re not resting between exercises, supersetting makes for a tremendous metabolic conditioning workout.
Your heart rate gets going and you get nice and sweaty.
Great for burning calories.
Great for cardiovascular health.
Supersets are also great for muscle growth.
To grow more muscle mass, you want to increase the volume, or reps, you do in a workout, and supersetting allows you to get more reps done in a shorter time.
My favourite part is that supersets give you a nice pump.
While a pump doesn’t mean you’re progressing, it’s a great reward mechanism to build the long-term habit of working out.
I don’t believe I’d be working out for 13 years in a row if it wasn’t for the pump at the end of the workouts.
Mix in some supersets into your workouts and watch what happens within 30 days.
Do you sometimes miss the way you looked in your 20’s?
