Yes, it's unusual to breathe heavy when training, especially doing compound exercises supersetted.I would have this checked out at the doc's office. Might be lung cancer.
Try some lemon juice, DaddyWaddy.
No its a suicidal way of working out. Try a set of leg extensions supersetted with a squat, both to failure presuming your goal is hypertrophy. The pump means nothing mate.
why are you supersetting these two exercises my son?ta ta
Lets say you front squat your body weight supper setting that with dead lifting body weight. I find myself breathing pretty heavy after a few sets, I don't like alot of rest in between to keep the momentum. But man it's pretty hard sometimes anyone else noticed this or does my cardio need even more work? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, if any. It seems that lung capacity puts a limit before muscle fatigue sometimes, anybody else have this happening?
Are you talking about a stiff-legged deadlift? If so, then that wouldn't be a totally unheard of super-set combo.
I will file this sugestion under healthy nutritional habits. not directly related to topic. But thanks for a serious answer.

No problem. Oh, and maybe increase your rest period if you're having chest pains.
yes it is semi stiff so that I don't break the knee backwards supper setting together with Front Squats. This way Quads and hams are more isolatedly targeted.
TrueSupersetFailuredoes not equal hypertrophy
Reaching failure is the best way to force a muscle into growth!
This would be an okay superset on a light to moderate day - but not on a heavy day.
Ok. I never have heavy days though. In only do it like this, every time. I always do minimum 16 reps for legs. I always felt like I would get hurt when I try a really heavy squat. I cant seem to build much mass or get strong joints like a power lifter for some reason.
All different styles of training. What you're doing now falls into the muscular endurance arena (although the higher rep ranges can be useful in other styles occassionally) Decide if you want to train for mass, power or endurance. In the meantime, try taking your current 'routine' and bumping up the weight a little (don't try to max right away) dropping down to 10 reps while gradually continuing to bump up the weight until you hit about 20-22% more than what you could get 15-16 at (over the course of the next 2-3 weeks). You'll probably notice a difference. So for instance - if you're doing 200 lbs for 15 reps, you should be able to work up to 240 lbs (for 10 reps) over the course of the next several weeks. Don't just jump right in at 240 because like you said, your joints and other tissues might not be ready.
