Supersets for Superman Arms
OR How my lack of reading comprehension led to Superman arms
A superset is a training method in which two exercises are performed back to back with no rest between exercises. Supersets can be performed either for antagonistic muscle groups or within the confines of the same muscle group. One superset cycle is completed when both exercises have been performed after which rest is then usually permitted, “usually” being the operative word here.
There are generally two types of exercises: compound exercises, in which multiple joints work in conjunction with one another, or isolation exercises, where only a single joint is involved in the movement. Supersets performed for a single bodypart can either be an isolation exercise immediately followed by a compound exercise or a compound exercises immediately followed by an isolation exercise.
