Strip sets to begin with, refer to one of the most effective ways of increasing the intensity and achieve new muscle growth. After doing a regular set you can continues for some more minutes even if the first one was a failure. By using lighter weights, you will be using strip sets. They should be done only once a week and involve the last set in a bodybuilding routine of every day. You have to start with a very heavy weight which you can lift around 5 times. However, you can do as many as you can. If you find that you are doing it over and over s many times, look for a more challenging weight that will limit you to around 5 times. Take a break of about 3 minutes and start over again.
Alternatively, you may try another version of the same exercise called rack. This one is done by using dumbbells. You will start with the heaviest weights an end with the heaviest ones. You will be surprised to find out how much you have been missing on a great feeling. In the end use the lightest weights. These will be those of around 10 pound. This may differ slightly for those who are used to this kind of exercise.
A superset refers to a large combination of many exercises targeted at the same body part. These combinations are usually done consecutively. They are ideal for the largest muscles in the body such as the thigh muscles. They are best done once in a while, in between a major routine workout. A common combination involves the chest, the legs and the back.
The shoulders can be combined with the legs while the chest can be combined with the back. When it comes to the les, the squat can be combined with leg press to bring about development of the ankle and calf muscles.
To perform a superset, you only need to do the first part of the combination until you fail to continue and move on to the second one. Add a few forced reps until you feel you have to give up. You may alternatively begin with a compound movement that will ensure that you have orientated all the parts involved into the task. In this case, choose a weight you can use to comfortably do 10 reps.
Compound sets are used in the same way as supersets but in this case, they are done in opposing muscles and not the same muscle groups. This is the method that will really pump energy into your muscles and make them grow beyond your wildest imagination! To begin choose the exercises you want to do. You may choose from the biceps, triceps, or the hamstrings. Perform the first exercise, rest for two minutes and do it once more. Repeat this procedure as many times as you can. After three sets, you should be so worked out that moving becomes a really big problem.
