Agonist Superset: Pull-Up and Curl


Jack up the metabolic and muscular damage, jack up your biceps growth. Try this superset: Pull Ups and Curls. 


An agonist superset is also known as a "compound set." This type of superset consists of simply combining a primary muscle exercise with an assisting muscle exercise. For instance, an agonist pairing superset of pull ups and curls. 


The pull-ups act as a primary muscle exercise (back), while the biceps curls act as an assisting muscle exercise.


Because of the metabolic and muscular damage (both good) that'll result from these supersets, you'll need longer rest periods during the workout and longer recovery periods between training sessions for the same muscle group”. - T Nation

Bear Push Ups - “Plant your feet into the wall and keep the knees bent as shown. Now push-up. Without the help from the lower body you normally get during the standard version of the exercise (yes you actually do get a LOT of help from your legs and regular push-ups) you’ll find this to be a true ball buster”. - @athleanx

Pelican curls — “These are a often quite underrated bicep exercise that will work wonders for building arm size and strength. There are two ways of approaching this exercise. The first method, and usually best if you are new to this exercise, is to use long 6-8 second eccentrics, to break that muscle fiber down and strengthen it in it’s lengthening phase. The second option is to perform the exercise with a concentric and eccentric, as you would with any other exercise. This one can be a bit awkward in terms of form if you have never done it before". - Bodyweighttribe.com

“Unlike many exercises, neither the top or bottom of the range of motion is where peak muscle loading occurs. In fact both the top and bottom of the range offer nearly zero load and won’t build biceps at all. For most people the peak loading occurs near or just above the point where the elbow is bent 90 degree”. - Precision Training
