Challenging Supersets for Biceps & Triceps

Challenging Supersets for Biceps & Triceps

If your arms haven’t grown in a while, it’s time to light them up with some new challenges. The best way to shock your biceps and triceps into growing? Supersets – new ones you probably haven’t tried before. So let’s do it. We’ll use two types of supersets to bring the heat:

• Antagonist Supersets: Pairing exercises with opposite movement patterns. Think of a classic push-pull or “front and back” superset. For example, pair biceps curls and triceps extensions.

• Agonist or Compound Supersets: Hit the same muscle group with two or more exercises to create an insane amount of metabolic stress. Since there’s little rest, there isn’t enough time for a muscle to flush lactate. This stimulates the release of anabolic growth factors. By fatiguing more muscle fibers, you’ll stimulate further growth. Example: triceps pushdown with dumbbell bench press.
