It helps when you do it in this sort of antagonistic fashion. Most bodybuilding writers only look at supersets as same/same type of thing. When you do true antagonists there is actually some evidence that it helps to increase strenght output. But a lot of times "atagonist" is really just dong something more or less opposite. But I agree...certainly not optimal for absolute strength and power. I wouldn't make a career out of it.

And it's also why I separated the big movers and gave them space of their own. But if a guy is able to progress, maintains good technique, and likes doing it, I'm not going to knock it too much. It does have it's advantages...such as balancing things out in a timely fashion.

They also promote your body working as a whole, recovery, etc. That can pay off down the line. It'll promote fat-burning which is one of his goals.

If it were up to me I'd just put supersets on at would just put supersets on at the end of the workouts, though.

I've noticed a lot of people fail to balance out their routines because of time but fail to utilize supersets or tri-sets which help greatly in that instance.

I'd like to point out John, that when many bodybuilding types mention "intensity" they mean "how hard it feels" more or less. The reason I say more or less is you'd have a hard time getting them to pin down what the hell they really mean by it. Which is why something so objective is somewhat useless. When most of us on this site say intensity we mean how close your are working to you 1RM (one rep maximum).

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
