The gym may be seen as the ‘church of fitness’ but you don’t need to go there. Got a pair of dumbbells? That’s all you need to pack on some muscle and build serious strength. It doesn’t have to take hours either. This full-body workout contains multiple supersets, an effective training tool for building muscle, and you’ll be able to blast through it in 30 minutes, if you’re efficient.
The beauty of supersets is that they allow you to get more done in less time. This is because, instead of resting after your working set, you immediately move on to an exercise that works an opposing muscle group— known as an antagonist superset. Not only does this maximise training time, but it also encourages hypertrophy, as your muscles are placed under more tension. Antagonist supersets can also ensure you build a balanced physique, which can prevent muscle imbalances and injuries long term.
