I’m not allowed to do overhead presses because I’ve had surgery on both shoulders. But there is damage again so…. But I do love your supersets idea. I do a lot of them. You are still my favorite teacher. I’m 66 so I have to adjust my exercises to my damages. But you have great ideas and safety points. You are the superset queen. Thank you
@@ErinSternFIT I’ve changed it up over the last few years to accomodate tendon issues and such . I’m now no longer doing heavy with low reps . I’ve gone to 3 days a week for healing time instead of 6. And I’m doing light weights but higher reps. But I’m a firm believer in the principal of “ a body in motion tends to stay in motion. “. I had my wife make me up T shirts and tumblers that say “ you don’t stop lifting when you get old , you get old when you stop lifting. “ I appreciate you. Thanks for the input.
That’s all you need to Otto…change it up. I’ve had spinal surgery & some things I cannot do but you find ways. Good to know you haven’t give up & keep yourself going 💪🏻😊
Love this workout! I can do this at home with my dumbbells 💪! Thank you Erin! ❤️ Can share the same workout for lower body? Legs superset with dumbbells 🙏🙏
Hi Erin! I liked the superset format today. (Showing both exercises before doing them). I work out at home, so I appreciate the dumbbell workouts! Also, I am recovering from a knee injury, so these sitting (mostly 😊) exercises are keeping my muscles active! Thank you 💪
Thank you so much Erin for making this video. It means a lot to me. I gained 3kgs after 2 months with your book Erin. Thanks God I found out you Erin. I love you 🥰😍💜💜
I REALLY appreciate all your videos!! These sets pack a punch. The alternating lateral raise was hard to do. Your post is great for accentuating proper form. Thank You
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. There are a few lower body videos on the channel like these... www.youtube.com/@erinstern5/search?query=lower%20body Abs: www.youtube.com/@erinstern5/search?query=abs Are those helpful or do you something specific?
Thanks so much for these videos! I am 63 years old and I have been lifting since my early 20's. Your videos are inspiring and remind me of exercises that I have forgotten plus teaching me new ones that I don't know. Great job!! PS I'm in so much better shape than any friends even close to my age! The secret...lifting weights!!
Great video for us home gym peeps! LOL About 4 years ago you did a home leg workout free weights only. It'd be great to see another one of those... low impact movements? Thanks Erin!
Thank you for this terrific video Erin! I work out from home with dumbells, a short barbell, elastic bands and a stability ball(I don't have a bench). I have difficulties building bigger hamstrings😢. When I work my quads, I see results quickly, but my hammies are so stubborn!
You're so welcome! Great job for putting in the work with what you have. 🦵 Yes, hammies can be stubborn. Keep training smart and training hard 💪 You'll get there!
Erin, I've been watching you for a while and have very recently joined a gym. Have seen the video you uploaded about being a nervous newbie (which to the gym I am) and it was so reassuring from someone in such fantastic shape as you and much appreciated! Aside from that, the training advice from a demonstrative and technical perspective is absolutely amazing ❤. Thank you so, so much for the inspiration and practical guidance!
I like to integrate your super sets in my workouts. I work night shift and the gym is close so this workouts help me. I am press for time between work, school, and sleep. I like to do 45seconds for each workout it gives me time to train on the indoor cycling bike I am a spin instructor on my days off.
Hey Erin! I'm hitting the shoulder superset tomorrow, at home, with kettlebells. I will continue training the muscle mind connection as suggested last week. Do you find useful to superset muscles in opposition? I train biceps and triceps the same day and, if possible, would like to know if it is recommended to do, for example, bicep curls and triceps extension one after the other. Thank you, as always! You really delivered ❤🙏🏼🦾
Great work! Absolutely, supersets of opposing muscles can be a highly effective training strategy, especially for at-home workouts where you may be working with limited equipment. When you train muscles in opposition back-to-back, like biceps and triceps, you're able to keep one muscle group active while the other rests, which can lead to improved muscle endurance and strength over time. Thank you for watching and subscribing! Keep training smart and training hard 💪
The biceps curl leaning face down on the incline bench appears to place the upper arm in a similar angle to just a standing biceps curl. Do you think this is targeting different neuromuscular units than the standing biceps curl or do you find there is some other advantage to it?
Hey Erin😊I have been doing face pull ups. What muscles does that target please? While at the gym I do legs and arms but I mix things up. Only thing is when I do face pulls my elbows kill the next day. Am I possibly doing them incorrectly? Thank you.Im small built and 117 if that matters and 63
Hi Michel! If you’re going heavier, take 2-3 minutes between supersets. For lighter weights, anywhere between 45 seconds to around 1:30 should be good. The limiting factor should be the muscles, not the cardiovascular system - so, if you’re out of breath, take a little more time. Hope that helps!
If I may suggest: try putting a two - to four inch tall box('s) under each foot in order to keep your feet flat. This will increase the isolation to the muscles being trained. I employ this method mainly with women whose feet do not touch the floor to create a stability base. I had observed that the weight of the 'hanging' feet would pull the hips forward, just enough to pull the lower spine forward, placing undetected stress on the spine and subtracting isolation to upper body muscle groups being trained. This method can also be employed on the decline bench press and the alternating leg curl/extension machine. I'm a paraplegic with thirty years of personal training and weight training experience and basically invented these very simple but effective tips. Calvin Cooley on TH-cam I hope these ideas help. Thanks, Erin!! PS. I used 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 inch tall boxes. One foot square. Maybe taller for the decline bench.

Yes, the best way is to try to stay away from time pressure when training.

Erin Please can you do a lower body superset, one for the abs and final a cardio?
I'll add it to my list and see if I can get to it.
Erin!! Are you training for a figure competition? You look AMAZING!!
Thank you! Just training to be FIT and Strong 💖😊 Right now I'm focusing on building. Not for competing, just for me 💪
Appreciate this!!

Pretty much mirrors what I’ve been doing two to three times a week. I’ve seen noticeable gains in strength & mass over the past 4 months.
awesome!
Love this idea when you haven’t had as much time in the week to train 👍
Absolutely!
What is a good sweet spot for sets and reps when doing supersets when you want to gain muscle/loss fat?

The biceps curl leaning face down on the incline bench appears to place the upper arm in a similar angle to just a standing biceps curl. Do you think this is targeting different neuromuscular units than the standing biceps curl or do you find there is some other advantage to it?
It can eliminate the use of momentum and allows you to focus just on the curls. Hope that helps! Thanks!

But yout feet where not flat on the bench Erin
Hey Erin how are you beautiful
Hi TheBulletzgottishow20! I’m doing pretty good, thanks! How are you?
@@ErinSternFIT I am doing great love
For women like me who aren’t body builders, what is the purpose of chest exercises? I’m already super flat chested and I don’t see the point. It seems like they’re more appropriate for men.
These exercises for bigger chest.
Thank you beutifull.
Thank you for watching!
Super sets are evil. This encourages gym hogging and I'm against it in all its forms.
First time here ...grt demo and presence plus articulation = u bet , lets roll 👏🎯.....🦬🇬🇧
Awesome! 💪 Thanks for being here and watching/subscribing
