Q: How often would you suggest supersetting?

A: Supersetting is a very useful technique for both increasing intensity and saving time. It also means different things to different people. For example, I call back-to-back sets of the same exercise with different weights either drop-sets or pyramid-sets while many people call them supersets. I usually call supersets back-to-back sets of different exercises for the same muscle or different exercises for opposing muscles (like biceps and triceps).

For example, you can have fast combined back-and-chest or bicep-and-tricep workouts through supersetting: dumbbell row supersetted with dumbbell press or bicep curl supersetting with overhead extension. As with anything else, variety is important. It's not a good idea to always superset some muscle group with another, or to always do one exercise supersetted after another, or to always only do supersets and nothing else. I am reluctant to put a number on it, but as long as you introduce variety into your training, you can do almost as much supersetting as you want.
