SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 26, 2025 – If you’re short on time but still want a workout that packs a punch, superset training—especially when targeting antagonistic muscle groups—might be your new favorite fitness strategy. And with Technogym’s new Selection 700 Line, it’s never been easier to harness the full benefits of this powerful approach to strength and performance training.
What Are Antagonistic Muscles and Why Supersets Work
Antagonistic muscles are pairs that perform opposite actions, such as biceps and triceps or quadriceps and hamstrings. When one contracts, the other relaxes, creating smooth and efficient movements. Keeping both muscles strong and balanced is key—not just for aesthetics, but for joint health, flexibility, and injury prevention.
Superset training involves alternating exercises between these pairs without rest. This method was made famous in the 1970s by none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it remains popular today for good reason:
- Boosts muscle growth through increased metabolic stress
- Increases testosterone peaks compared to traditional training
- Saves time by minimizing rest periods without compromising quality
Research supports its effectiveness. For instance, a 2010 study by Dr. Daniel Robbins found that superset workouts maintained training quality while cutting duration. And a 2005 study by Dr. Dean Baker revealed a 4.7% increase in muscle power in athletes using antagonistic pair training. Supersets even help with calorie burn—another 2010 study by Dr. Kelleher showed that energy expenditure was significantly higher with supersets than with traditional workouts.
How Technogym Makes Supersets Simple and Effective
For those training in a gym, however, performing supersets can be tricky. Machines might be spread out, used by others, or require setup changes—disrupting the flow that makes supersets so powerful.
Enter Technogym’s Selection 700 Line, a smart and space-saving solution for modern gyms. Especially in its Dual products, this line allows users to train opposing muscle groups on a single machine. That means:
- Less time walking between equipment
- Faster transitions between exercises
- Better workout flow and consistency
Some standout Dual products include:
- Dual Pectoral / Reverse Fly: Trains pectorals, deltoids, and scapular muscles with ergonomic precision.
- Dual Leg Extension / Seated Leg Curl: Allows smooth training of quadriceps and hamstrings by simply adjusting resistance pad positions.
