I have competed in martial arts for years, and train pretty much daily myself, very partial to interval style for cardio and core, and weight training. What you are saying about supersets though very text book, may not ring true in application across the board. Supersets in antagonist muscle groups is much less effective in larger muscle groups. For example, you should not train the chest opposite the back. The recovery time is far too long, and pooling of blood in major muscles is no conducive to hitting either set of muscles effectively. You end up with a tiring, ineffective set on both groups. This has been proven by the top athletes in the world from kickboxing and MMA to motocross. Antagnositic supersets should be limited to lower blood and lower blood oxy demand groups such as forearms, front and back of calves, front and back of shoulders, etc., never larger groups. Great article! Ron Great article, Shauna!

I was getting bored with my workout program and I've been looking for new ideas to pump my interest back and the moment I read this, I knew I found the spice. Bodybuilding is actually last on my mind, I was up to something more elusive: <a href="http://www.sixpackabsguide.com/" target="_blank">how to get six pack abs</a> which sounds easy like How to Order to McDonalds but we already knew its not like that. Guess I'll have to talk to my instructor about this Supersets(God, this sounds even more like a food, like SuperMeal) What coincidence!
