Question

An example of an origin/insertion superset is
a. Biceps curl/triceps extensions
b. Squat/front squat

Answer 1

Answer: (C) chin up / incline dumbbell curl

Rationale: It is the example which asked in the question. Chins up is is exercise done in the bar called chin up bar or pull up bar.

It mainly focus on the back muscles and the muscles of the biceps, And the upper part of the chest and the deltoid are get strengthened through incline dumbbell press. And also it strengthen the biceps muscles.

In two of this exercise we can see that they have to put a power on shoulder to lift and then they have to extend the elbow. These action will be carried out in both the exercises.

So this explains the example of the origin/insertion superset.
