Switch up your sets to get more from your strength workouts
Get The Body You Want
Get the body you want with the moves you love. Here's how to switch up your sets to get more from your strength workouts...
Adding variety to your workout doesn't mean you have to master a million new moves. Instead, reorganise the ones you know according to this guide from Craig Ballantyne, author of Turbulence Training.
Try: Supersets
What they are: Two different exercises performed one after another, sans rest.
How to use them: Insert a superset anywhere in your workout. To burn the most fat, pair moves that work as many muscle groups as possible. For example, combine a chest press with a row, or a shoulder press with a deadlift. Rest for 30 to 60 seconds after you've done both moves, then repeat two or three times. To save even more time, pair non-competing muscle groups, such as your shoulders and glutes: one muscle group can recover while the other works, so you need less rest.

You ladies should definitely research Shin Ohtake of Max Workouts .... he's much better than Ballantyne, in my humble opinion.
