You want more muscle and you want more size. We get it. But if you’re already working hard in the gym and doing all the right exercises, what else can you do get some extra growth and sick pump? Simple. Just spend an extra few minutes at the gym and do a “superset” of a few exercises — lean muscle gains will follow.
How Supersets Work:
Supersets are when you put two or more exercises together without rest; once the superset is completed, you can rest before doing another round. Traditionally, the exercises within a superset targets different muscle groups — the idea is to condense them together to save time, keep your heart rate up, and boost your metabolism by blasting your body.

If you set up your supersets to target the same muscle group, however, you’ll benefit get way more stimulus on your fibers — both slow-twitch and fast-twitch — and you’ll get a sick pump, too. Try one of these supersets at the end of your workout and see the difference after you leave the gym.
