This arm superset targets our favorite antagonistic (opposing) pair of muscle groups, namely the biceps and the triceps. By optimizing wrist supination, you are going to target the outer head of the biceps on the bicep exercise and the long head of the triceps on the tricep portion of the superset.
This is a classic arm superset you can find in the SuperHuman Muscle workout program as well! I recommend that you perform 8-12 reps on each portion of the superset. Rest no more than 90 seconds between this arm superset, and perform 3-5 sets per arm workout.
