Symmetry In Motion: Biceps and Calves Supersets

Build bigger biceps and calves with these targeted superset moves.
By Mehmet Edip

To create perfect symmetry it is suggested that your biceps and calves should be the same size. It therefore makes sense to train these two muscle groups together.

The superset workout below should help you on your way to getting both your biceps and calves looking bigger and fuller.

Superset #1 

Cable Curl / Incline Leg Press 

Cable Curl: Set 1-3: 60% below your maximum lift – 15 reps

Leg Press: Set 1-3 toes pointed outwards maximum lift – 25 reps

Cable Curl: Set 4-6: 40% below your maximum lift – 12 reps

Leg Press: Set 4-6 toes pointed inwards – 25 reps

Cable Curl: Set 7-8 reps maximum lift – 6-8 reps

Leg Press: Set 7-8 toes shoulder width apart facing forward

During each rep hold for 2 seconds at the top of the movement, 3 seconds to return to the starting position, and 2 seconds to the top of the movement (2:3:2)

Bicep Tip: During the biceps curls ensure that you concentrate on the negative aspect of the movement so that you make the most of using the cables, by emphasising the negative aspect this will make the workout more difficult.

Calf Tip: Pointing the toes inwards and outwards will ensure that you hit all aspects of the calf.
