Agree totally Jim. Supersets are high intensity and should be used accordingly. I used to use them in a 3 week cycle. I would only use one superset per muscle group then follow it with a couple of standard higher rep sets of an easier exercise. (EG flyes, pec dec, pulley rows) Supersetting can be really good to bust plateau's. When i started the gym common thinking was 3 sets of 10 reps for most things. This worked ok for my first 6 months or so before leveling off and then i went to 4 sets of 6-8 reps. This kicked me in again. I now find i get my best gains around the 6-8 rep mark but apparently it varies for different folks. What do you find your best range is? Of course we must vary it to keep the burns fresh but i find that range works well.
