Hi Everyone,
Beyond opinion, is there any scientific info about burnouts, supersets, etc.
1. Starting Strength is probably the best strength method.
2. Many people would recommend mobility exercises or abdominal strengthening in-between sets, but no supersets, cardio, etc. as that would take away from the ergonomic benefit.
3. For the last of the five sets, a person could do more. I am thinking for something like squats:
a. End on a tear set, doing two or three more sets of varying weight, that a lifting can lift for 15 reps.
For example, 225 lbs for 5 times, 135 for 12-15 times, the bar for another 15 times.
b. Then, moving on to Leg Extension machines, 1 1/2s, using both legs.
c. Then, doing one leg, leg extensions, 1 1/2s, each legs.
4. So, instead of a final set of 5 (on the 5X5 workout), someone would be doing that final set and four or five extra things.
Is that a good idea?
5. Sorry to ask these basic questions. I just want to get to the science of the matter, not just opinions and rumors.
