Supersets


Q: What does the A-1 & A-2 portion of your workouts mean on the Body Contract Workout 2.0 and the Shotgun Workouts? Does it mean superset the 2 exercises or alternate back & forth?

-Corey



My Answer- Yes it means you "superset" or alternate between the 2 exercises. So if you have this:

A1) Incline dumbbell press - 3 sets, 6-8 reps, no rest
A2) Pushups - 3 sets, as many reps as possible, 1 minute rest

What it means is you do a set of incline dumbbell presses, go immediately to pushups, rest for 1 minute and repeat 2 more times.


If you have this:

A1) Pull-up
Sets: 8
Reps: 4 to 6
Rest: 100 seconds

A2) Standing military press
Sets: 8
Reps: 4 to 6
Rest: 100 seconds


What this means is you do a set of pull-ups, rest for 1 minute and 40 seconds, do a set of standing military press, rest for 1 minute and 40 seconds and repeat 7 more times.
