Tip: INCLINE BENCH PRESS & PIKE HANDSTAND PUSH-UPS

The strength intensity section today is a noncomplimentary superset. This means that the exercises do not complement one another – another way of saying this is that the exercises follow similar movement patterns. In this instance, both exercises are upper-body push exercises. These two exercises put together lead to a potent stimulus for the chest, triceps, and shoulders. This superset will lead to quick fatigue of these upper body pushing muscles – because of this, you may see a decline in the total number of pike handstand pushups you can perform each set.
