Superset

Two exercises performed back-to-back without rest between them.

Definition

A superset pairs two exercises — usually opposing muscle groups (biceps + triceps) or non competing patterns (chest + back) — performed back-to-back. It cuts workout time in half without losing performance and is ideal for accessory work when the gym is busy.

Real questions

Should I superset heavy compounds?

No — pair antagonists or use it on isolation lifts. Heavy squat + deadlift supersets just turn into bad sets of both.
