A superset is when you perform two exercises in a row without resting in between.
After performing a superset, you take a normal rest as you would between regular sets before doing the next superset.
Supersets can be hard when you first start using them because it requires a higher level of muscle endurance to complete two sets without rest in between them. But your endurance will increase after implementing them for a while.
There are a lot of great reasons to use supersets in your routine:
Benefits:
