Superset
One set of an exercise followed straight away by a set of another, and only then the rest. It can pair opposing muscles — chest and back, biceps and triceps — so one recovers while the other works, or the same muscle, to push the effort further. The main gain is time: the same number of sets fits into a shorter session.
In practice
Dumbbell row 3×10 superset with incline press 3×10: you do the row, go straight to the press, rest 90 seconds and repeat the round three times. The sets count as they always do — three for the back, three for the chest — but you skip the three rests you would have taken between the two exercises.
How to use it in a plan
Pair exercises that do not compete for the same equipment, and keep the heavy compound lifts out of supersets, where fatigue from the other exercise would cost technique. In NoteFit, the exercises of a superset are grouped in the workout and shown as one block; the rest shown is the last one’s, because that is what the athlete waits after the round.
FAQ
Does a superset count as one set or two?
Two: one per exercise, each for its own muscle. Weekly volume is the same as doing them apart; what changes is the session time and, when both exercises hit the same muscle, the fatigue.
Are supersets good for hypertrophy?
Yes, as long as each set still ends close to failure and the load does not drop much from fatigue. For heavy compound lifts like the squat or the deadlift it usually pays to do them on their own.
