    Supersets are when you perform two exercises back to back without rest in between.

    Example:
    Barbell Curls 5x95 followed by Hammer Curls 5x25 (no rest between the two) (reps x weight)

    That help any?

    Another example would be where you work antagonistic muscles. Eg Biceps immediately followed (no rest) with Triceps (eg Cable Curls followed by cable pushdowns).

    Kind Regards

    A superset can be anything you like. The idea is to work the muscles harder by not allowing rest between exercises.

    Preform all 3 sets in a row without rest, so in one "block" perse you will be doing 9 sets for a total of 60 reps. After that is complete get some water, your going to need it!

    Jump Squat 3x20
    Push-up 3x20
    Crunches 3x20

    Pullups 3x15
    Cable Cross Over 3x15
    Lower Chest Cable Pulls 3x15

    Close Grip Lat Pulldown 3x15
    Triceps Extension with Rope 3x15
    Cable Seated Row 3x15

    Dumbbell Side Raise 3x15
