Supersets

Slim-Daddy Posts: 45 Joined: 2002/01/17	2002/05/09, 02:14 AM supersets are done with two excercises right? 30 seconds rest between sets? what about between the two excercises? how much rest between them? also should i be stretching during these 30 secs or so?

As far as stretching it all depends on the excersise. With some exercises you are already doing a stretching movement and with some your not. Example: flyes for chest, stretching is not nessesary after these.

Pretty much its just like joe said.. you do two exercises in a row then rest.. Say flat barbell presses.. after your done with reps for those you rack the weights.. pick up some dumbells and do some flat dumbell flyes.. then rest.. Then you could also superset just by working the muscle thats on 'the other side' of the one you just worked.. I think for your chest it was your back.. so you would superset by some barbell presses then move into a back exercise then rest.. for biceps its triceps.. etc.. getting the picture?
