Can I take a break during chest workouts to do abs?!
Question: Can I take a break during chest workouts to do abs?
Answers:
Yes its commonly referred to as a Super Set. There are many different types of super sets.
The Superset is a very simple concept...basically, you just do two exercises back-to-back, with no rest in between! A quick example of this is doing a barbell curl then going directly into a cable curl.
1. Super sets increase Lactic Acid production, which helps boost Growth Hormone (GH) levels in the body. The body responds to the reduced pH (increased acidity) in the body from the production of Lactic Acid by secreting GH. GH is a powerful fat loss and muscle building hormone.
2. Super sets are time-efficient. By doing sets back-to-back, you reduce your total workout time while still doing the same amount of total work. If you're in a hurry in your workout, Super sets can get you out of the gym faster.
3. Different Superset combinations can help increase muscle Fibre activation. Essentially, this means you can use specific exercise combinations to increase the intensity of work on a specific muscle, helping to develop it faster.
Keep in mind when you're doing these, they are intensity techniques and should not be used every day. Your body needs a chance to recover and using these techniques too often can hamper recovery. My suggestion would be to do workout super sets no more than once a week for any particular body part.
Good luck

I guess, why not just get your chest workout done then finish with abs?
