@MatthewPetre Interesting. I use APS training to reduce imbalances and potential injury, but it appears to be one of the most efficient ways to build muscle. One of your links led me to a great rabbit hole: https://t.co/LsGEWe3wv0

Why Use Supersets? Supersets maximize the time efficiency of your training. By alternating exercises, you can maximize the efficiency of every workout, doing more work in less time. https://t.co/19GphVtnak

Una revisión de 2010 sugirió que los ejercicios de superserie para los músculos agonistas y antagonistas son una alternativa eficiente en el tiempo al entrenamiento de fuerza tradicional https://t.co/BHmP4lLQiV
