What is the main characteristic of super setting?

Sets of 8 to 10 repetitions with little or no rest between sets or exercises (correct)
Using three or more exercises to train the same muscle group
Involving all body parts in one single workout
Training various body parts on alternate days

How does the split routine system solve the problem of time consumption?

By involving all body parts in one single workout
By training various body parts on alternate days (correct)
By having frequent training sessions six days per week
By using sets to exhaustion

What is the main purpose of incorporating sets to exhaustion into a training system?

To stimulate more motor units to be used and cause significant gains in muscular strength (correct)
To involve all body parts in one single workout
To produce increases in muscular hypertrophy
To train various body parts on alternate days

Why does the split routine system allow the intensity of the training on a particular body part to be maintained at a higher level?

Because it allows sufficient recovery of muscle groups between training sessions (D) Signup and view all the answers

Super Setting

Performing sets of 8 to 10 repetitions with minimal rest between sets or exercises.

Split Routine System

A training system where different body parts are trained on alternating days.

Pre-exhaustion System

This system aims to increase muscle strength by pushing a muscle group to failure with isolated exercises before moving to compound exercises for the same muscle group.

Burn System

Technique for increasing intensity by performing 5-6 partial repetitions after reaching failure on a set.
