Antagonistic Supersets for Faster Strength Training
Pair opposing or non-overlapping exercises back-to-back during the rest periods of a workout, such as a press with a row or chest with back, instead of doing straight sets with full idle time. This keeps training density high and saves time, while usually preserving most strength and muscle gains for non-elite lifters, with only a small tradeoff in maximal strength adaptation.

“You can engage other muscle groups. This is what we call supersetting... For the average person, I will tell them, yeah, superset.”
