Chest and Biceps

               This week I want to talk about something amazing, supersets. A superset is when you do two workouts that work opposing muscle groups. For example doing a push exercise like pushups and then immediately after that push set you do a pull exercise like preacher curls. And alternating back and forth between those two workouts is called a superset. I have incorporated supersets in my workouts and I have notice amazing growth in muscle growth and stamina.
               
              Now I want to talk about my chest and bicep workout that I did this last week. I began with stretching my arms and chest and then moved in to doing dumbbell press and barbell drag curls.
I did four sets of 20 plus repetitions (reps) alternating back and forth between the two workouts. Then I moved to doing dumbbell flys and standing concentration curls. When doing the dumbbell flys I made sure that I felt that stretch in my chest before I contract my chest and when doing the concentration curls I make sure that I feel that squeeze when I curl up the dumbbell. I did five sets of 15 reps and when I alternate the movements I am making sure I squeeze at the point of contraction for each exercise.


                







Next on the list of workouts is incline dumbbell chest presses superset with reverse barbell curls. I did five sets of 12 to 15 reps focusing on going slow when lowering the weight and having explosive force when bringing the weight up. The last I finished with was dips and preacher curls doing 4 drop sets alternating with each exercise.


  











              And that is it for the chest and bicep workout I did this week. If you try my workout I would love to hear from you about how it went and if you have any comments on my workouts that I share please feel free to share. Be sure to visit the blog this next week, I will be sharing my back and triceps workout.
