“Supersets are a workout technique where you pair two exercises that *typically* target different muscles and do them back-to-back with little to no rest in between.” (Definition courtesy of Hevy - Gym Workout Tracker 👏)
These are the superset pairings I offered last week in my “Lift Strong” class at Lloyd Athletic Club 🙌 We executed 6 complementary pairs of exercises, 3 rounds each, at light, moderate, or heavy weight. When using lighter weight, participants carried out higher rep ranges (10-12), moderate rep ranges (8-10) with moderate weight, and lower rep ranges (6-8) with heavier weight. Because this is a larger group fitness class in a studio space, we generally use lighter weights in the form of barbells, dumbbells, step benches with risers, and even chairs, bands, blocks, and blankets 🤗
The key is to find the appropriate entry point for YOU and to progress that variation over time with consistency 👏 Variations shown in these videos were not the only variations offered! Feel free to DM if you’re having trouble finding the way to make these exercises accessible 💪
It’s never “all-or-nothing,” and there’s always a way to modify the exercise or find one that’s similar-enough!
