For some reason I’ve always loved doing supersets when I can because it keeps me moving and keeps my workout at a fast pace. For my 5/3/1 main lifts, I will take my time and give them my all, but for accessory work I like to superset. Is there any other method I could use besides supersets? My current routine looks like this:
Monday - 5/3/1 Bench (warm up, then percentages)
- DB Rows- 4 sets (12,10,10,8)
- Incline DB press (3-4 sets of 6-10 reps) with pull ups/chin ups, or pulldowns (3-4 sets 8-12 reps)
- Hammer Strength Incline Press (3 sets 8-12) with another row variation (same set/rep scheme)
- Cable crossovers (3 sets of 10-12) with straight arm pulldown (same sets/reps)
Tuesday- 5/3/1 Squat
- Walking Lunges (3 sets of 8-10 reps)
- Leg Press (3 sets of 10-12)
- 4 sets of calves and possibly back extensions
Wednesday & Thursday - one day is off and the other is some bicep and tricep work.
Friday- 5/3/1 Deadlift and 5/3/1 OHP
- accessory work is some shoulders accessories and core work
- possibly more leg work on this day or squat day…?
Does this look like its okay to use? I use supersets where I can, and where I feel like I can handle them. Is there anything other then supersets I can use between certain exercises; for example, skipping or some plyometrics exercises between a set?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated guys. Thank you!
