Workout Diary 22.04.16: Heavy Weight Supersets

Heavy Weight Supersets for Strength – despite a busy time, I finished the week strong!

I had thirty minutes free before a personal training session in Stockport, so I decided to train with a heavy weight superset strength session. The lack of time but the requirement to do some hard strength training meant that only supersets would do the job.

I hadn’t trained much thanks to the injuries I’ve had recently. The couple of weeks of relative rest, coupled with a lot of enthusiasm to train leant itself to a great session and a new PB!

The Heavy Weight Supersets Workout

• Warm Up – mobilisation exercises, fundamental movement patterns with and empty 20kg barbell.
• Cleans: 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1 (NEW PB!!! 105kg)
• Push Press/ Snatch Grip Deadlift Superset: 4+4, 4+4, 3+3, 3+3
• Deadlifts 2, 2

The quality of this workout came from the intensity, which was in part due to the lack of time I had. Rest periods were kept short on purpose to make the most of the time available.

For some reason, this helped me on the cleans, seeing me hit a new pb of 105kg! Maybe this took it out of me slightly – by the last exercise I was able to pull a deadlift for doubles (although still the heaviest doubles I’ve ever done

If I had more time, I would have added another upper body pull movement, some incline dumbbell bench presses and probably some high rep lunges. I would also do more sets of the deadlift.

Give it a try – keep the heavy weight supersets workout short and your weights high!
