In this episode the guys break down the best supersets for every muscle group. They cover what a superset actually is, the three types (isolation to compound, compound to isolation, and heavy to explosive using post-activation potentiation), and then go through their personal favorites for chest, back, shoulders, glutes, quads, hamstrings, triceps, biceps, calves and core. Highlights include Sal's dumbbell pullover to pull-up for back, Adam's incline press to cable fly for chest, Justin's lateral raise to Viking press for shoulders, hip thrust to walking lunges for glutes, barbell squat to sissy squat for quads, conventional deadlift to seated leg curl for hamstrings, tricep pressdown to close-grip push-up for triceps, preacher curl to incline curl for biceps, and decline sit-ups to cable chops for core.
