Again the rules that I mentioned above still apply so variety is very important. So lets say for the next 2 months you apply the supersets to your routine after these 2 months you should drop the technique and use a different one instead, for example <a rel="nofollow" href="http://beebleblog.com/2007/04/07/training-styles-pyramid-training/" rel="nofollow">Pyramid Training</a>. The rest period of 30 seconds is very good for supersets but as it should be more intense than standard sets a rest of up to a minute is good as well. Supersets are very intense and as I don't know your fitness levels I have to warn you to keep an eye on heart rate and don't let it go too high :) I wrote this post that may help you understand rest periods more http://beebleblog.com/2007/09/25/are-you-wasting-your-gym-time/ In my opinion you are doing everything right but it would be a good idea to check with a fitness professional that can actually monitor you and work with you to get the best idea of how well you are doing :) Yes you are quite right whilst you can just complete one superset and then move onto the next exercise it is advisable to add at least one more set.

Is it implied that after one superset one takes a short rest (30 secs ok?) and then does another one or two supersets?
