Would you advise against supersetting two exercises for a pump set even if there is only one failure point?
For example I have underdeveloped triceps and hamstrings and am weak on close grip bench press and RDL's (in comparison to my standard bench and deadlift).
So for a hamstring pump set I did a high rep set of RdL's shy of failure before hopping onto a leg curl and doing a high rep set to failure utilising partial reps etc before returning back to RDL for ham stretch.
For Triceps I did something similar using close grip bench and rope cable extensions. Benefit is that I am accumulating volume on exercises I am bio-mechanically and physically (for lack of a better word) weak at. But I then utilise an exercise where I can really focus on perfect execution and use partials etc to reach mechanical failure.
Is this strategy likely too much or could it have some merit as a pump set method? I am currently training turbo version tier 1 and would be more hesitant to use this technique with a higher volume tier.
