How & When to Superset

In this QUAH Sal, Adam, & Justin answer the question “How often do you use supersets and what muscle groups do you use them with? Are there any groups that are better suited to super-setting or is it better to move them around every now and then?”

1:30 5x5 strength based program
2:00 Supersets are an advanced technique and lends themselves better to hypertrophy training > trad strength training (5x5)
2:35 People who only focus on hypertrophy and body sculpting won’t continuously get results that way. You get the “feeling” of results from SS’s, due to massive pump.
3:15 The “feel” benefits of your workouts contributes to your progress of your workouts. If you enjoy the feeling of your workout and what you’re doing, you’re probably going to have better workouts and focus.
7:14 Supersets are found in bodybuilding, aesthetic shaping and sculpting routines. Not when you’re focused on building strength. Programs start with strength focus phase, and pump-inducing supersets on during the very end. Superior results this way.

I do pull ups and dips and push ups for a super set

I also do chest and superset with arms

Good point about the feel and enjoying the session. I know it's not the best long term choice but I can't train other than superset, it's been a while now. Everytime I try more "classic" method or a 5x5 or whatever strengh focused method I feel the rest periods between sets are so long that I get the impression of not working at all, not that I consider them bad training methods at all but the it doesn't feel good and right to me.

If i do super set for chest, feel great just a couple sets I feel good ....do dumbbell bench press then right into push ups ...feel great just doing a couple sets of that

My upper body routine is 10 reps of each consecutively: pull ups, dips, overhead press, bent over row, neutral grip pull ups and pushups for 6 to 7 sets. Would you consider this routine as a superset? Thanks in advance
