Listen "Episode 017: Supersetting the right way with agonist-antagonist pairs"
Episode Synopsis
Today’s podcast episode is a deep dive into agonist-antagonist pairs and how you can use this knowledge to create effective agonist-antagonist superset workouts.
You’ll learn how you can create a whole-body workout made purely of supersets which will help you with your L3 Personal Trainer Assessment portfolio and planning for client sessions. Hayley divides this podcast into 6 key joint actions in the body, and their opposing joint actions; which are then mapped to the prime mover of that action.
Also, join us at the end for the revision power hour, as Neale adds a clear structure to your revision session ahead.

Supersetting the right way with agonist-antagonist pairs
In the podcast video, you learn about 6 key joint actions and the main muscle prime mover responsible for each action. Knowing this will help consolidate what you learned for your Level 2 or 3 anatomy and physiology exam, and it will also help you relate anatomy to planning.
This knowledge is key in helping you understand WHY you are programming certain exercises for your client based on the client’s goal and physiology.
