Supersets & Giant Sets - Actually Build Muscle or Just Gas You Out?

[brunoG67]

Been running more supersets and giant sets to save time and get a crazy pump, but not sure if it’s helping growth or just tiring me out faster. What’s it been like for you guys?

[JaxBulk(JB)]

They’re solid for saving time and getting a pump, but for pure mass I still stick to straight sets on big lifts.

Yeah bro, supersets hit different but you fatigue way faster. Hard to keep strength up.

[Richardd5]

I use them more on accessory work. Wouldn’t run giant sets for compounds tho.

[brunoG67]

Yeah that makes sense… I’ve been doing them on almost everything lately

[Huntert90]

That’s probably why you feel smoked. Too much volume + intensity stacked together.

[CAngel23]

They build muscle for sure, just not ideal if your main goal is getting stronger.

[GritTy5*]

Great for cutting or when you’re short on time, not something I’d rely on year-round.

[brunoG67]

Got it… so better to use them strategically, not every set. Appreciate it

[RockoGym]

Exactly bro, mix them in smart and you’ll get the benefits without burning out
