As you get more comfortable, you can do one set of exercise A and then one set of exercise B. Rest. Then back to A then B. This is called supersetting. t -------------- I am training for birthdays.

For general training, mass, etc. it is normally best to complete all sets for one exercise and then move on to the next one. Do it the other way you mention is a circuit type training, and useful for more muscle endurance with a bit of strength gain. An example of usefulness of this style of training may be for a fireman. -------------- Strength and Honor!

I would like to gain some muscle but it isnt as important and general fitness to me. I am 19 and I huff just going up stairs. Course I am also a smoker so that is something I have to change.
