It\u2019s generally best to combine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Exercises that target agonist-antagonist muscles (for example, the biceps and triceps)<\/li><li>Isolation exercises (for example, bicep curls and dumbbell lateral raises)<\/li><li>Compound and isolation exercises (for example, barbell bench press with bicep curl)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also combine exercises that target different areas of the body, such as bench presses (upper body) with lying hamstring curls (lower body).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to do Supersets in Hevy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hevy allows you to effortlessly create as many supersets as you want while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/track-workouts\/\">logging a live session<\/a> at the gym or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/gym-routines\/\">creating a routine<\/a> (reusable workout template).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a superset, you must add at least two exercises in the workout. Tap the three dots next to an exercise, select <strong>+ Add To Superset<\/strong>, and select the movement you want to pair it with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4591-4592-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4591-4592-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4591-4592-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4591-4592-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4591-4592.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can limit your supersets to two exercises or add multiple movements to the same superset, essentially creating a circuit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make a multi-exercise superset, tap the three dots, select <strong>+ Add To Superset<\/strong>, and pair the movement with another.

When completing a set of bench presses, it automatically scrolls down to lat pulldowns. Then, as you complete a set of pulldowns, the app scrolls down to face pulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you complete a set of face pulls, it scrolls back up to the bench press, which saves you time and makes workout logging more intuitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also select a specific rest period for each exercise. That way, in addition to automatically scrolling to the next exercise of the superset, Hevy displays your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/workout-rest-timer\/\">rest timer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/live-activity\/\">notifies you<\/a> when it\u2019s time to do a set of the next movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4603-4604-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4603-4604-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4603-4604-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4603-4604-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Img-4603-4604.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Supersets And Smart Superset Scrolling - Hevy App<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We answer the question \u201cWhat are supersets?\u201d, discuss their benefits, and show you how to create and log them in the Hevy app.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/what-are-supersets\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Supersets And Smart Superset Scrolling - Hevy App\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We answer the question \u201cWhat are supersets?\u201d, discuss their benefits, and show you how to create and log them in the Hevy app.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.hevyapp.com\/features\/what-are-supersets\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Hevy - #1 Workout Tracker &amp;
