Supersetting is a great way to bust through a routine or to move to the next level in your training. It is considered more advanced method of training. Basically, supersetting is moving from one exercise to another with no rest. The exercises can be for the same muscle group or different muscles, often opposing, like chest and back or bicep and triceps.
Advantages:
saves time
increase intensity
overload muscles
variety
Examples:
Pre-exhaustion sets: Doing a isolation movement like one set of LEG EXTENSIONS followed by a compound movement like one set of SQUATS. Repeat this for a total of 4 sets each.
Opposing Muscle sets: Combining one set of bench press followed by one set of dumbbell rows. Repeat each set 4 times.
Supersets can be a challenge and might require more rest and you should maintain a higher heart rate during your workout.
