We are looking at supersets today. Normally we are either doing as many rounds as possible in a set time (time oriented) or a set number of rounds in as short time as possible (rep oriented). The superset is slightly different - the number of rounds is set, as is the total time so the orientation shifts to the task itself rather than a rep/time modality.
With a Superset you have two minutes to perform each round. If you complete the round in less than two minutes you may rest until the start of the next round. If you do not complete the round in two minutes you must carry on with no rest. If you cannot catch up and do not finish the subsequent round before the next set starts the workout is over.
The idea here is to allow you to decide how to approach the work for yourself - do you blast through for maximum rest, or take it at a steady pace and try to fit the work in to the time allowed but risk ending early? Ideally you will go as hard as possible to garner the best metabolic response but it will be interesting to see how you game this one; both ways have advantages and drawbacks, and go a long way to showing how you approach your workouts.
The Superset in the workout today is bodyweight only, but pretty much any exercise can be used. In fact the Deadlifts/Power Clean/Thrusters/press/SDHP superset is a combination that just may show up in the near future - you have been warned!
