For chest I like incline flys supersetted with incline presses
For shoulder upright rows supersetted with presses

Pero fav ko talaga BB rows supersetted with deadlifts

I cant remember the last time I performed supersetting. I think I did:

standing barbell curls / triceps pushdown

Are these supersets for your chest? Because Dumbell pullovers are for the latissimus dorsi.

You can superset opposing bodyparts naman, it's quite common and popularized by Cybergenics' systems before.

Counter movements work well together as a superset because one exercise doesn't directly involve the muscles used by the other.

So a Chest-Back superset is common, Bi-Tri, Ham-Quad etc is a good way to cut workout times.

dude, you are right when you said that pullovers are for the lats, but doing this exercise is for chest expansion din...and breathing is very very important. i've had great benefits from this exercise....kumalat yung laman ng pecs ko especially sa gitna where the "cleavage" is located....dati kasi papasok pecs ko...ngayon umaangat na ng konti yung inner middle part.

Yup, yun ang pinaka magandang superset. Kasi nung nabasa ko lang na puro chest kasi ang work-out na naka sulat e.

Yeah, pero sobrang konti ang tinatamaan ng pullover para sa chest, why not do chest exercise na lang diba?

And about your chest, it developed not because of the pullover, dahil yan sa mga presses na mga ginagawa mo.
