The benefits of supersets are that they save time by reducing the rest interval between two exercises. Shortening the rest period between sets will increase intensity by performing more work in less time. Supersets also allow you to increase the intensity of your workout by overloading a muscle.

What is the purpose of supersets?

Supersets pack lot of volume into a short amount of time, giving your muscles less time to rest, forcing them to adapt and grow. They help you burn fat. By increasing the amount of work you cram into a workout, you’re burning more calories, along with building more muscle.

What happens when you superset?

Supersets, in which you perform a set of two different exercises back-to-back with little or no rest, are a great time-saver. Generally, you use them for opposing muscle groups, such as chest and back, so that one area can recover while you train the other one, thereby reducing the time needed to rest.
