    Supersets?

    How many SS's do you do for a bodypart? I'm finding that I can only do 2 SS's (4 sets total), and I'm spent on that BP. Seem normal? Thanks

    do you supersets with different body parts, either upper/lower or antagonistic muscle groups (ie bench/row, pull up/shoulder press, leg press/deadlift)

    I disagree. If you want to save time, yes, but if you want to use the SS to totally shock and " destroy " the muscle group, I feel you need to SS the same muscle group.

    I think 2 SS per muscle group is fine. Most people do too many sets anyway.

    ah yes....because shocking and "destroying" the muscle group is the best way to see results.

    dont do supersets using the same muscle unless your goal is muscular endurance

    When I've done supersets in the past I only implemented a few sets on a body part, like when I did P-RR-S. Maybe your GPP just sucks?
