supersets with full rest. again.

[ftumsh]

Ok, just to clear this up for me.
The book says superset with full rest:
exercise A 60 secs
exercise B 60 secs.

Does this mean:

A 60 rest, B 60 rest, A 60 rest etc
OR
A 60 rest, B full rest ie more than 60 secs.

I think it means the latter, but the 60 secs in the WO sheet after exercise B confuses me; for I am a bear with very little brain.

Depending on the set/rep scheme the full rest time changes. In the low rep ranges, where you will be using more weight, you will need a longer rest period than in the high rep sets. So in this case 60 seconds is the full rest.

[Mahler]

The term full rest is used to indicate the full 60 seconds (or whatever time period is designated) between the exercises as you alternate them. This is as opposed to doing a superset with no rest between A & B and only resting before the next set.

So say in Break-in, Workout A....

One does 1 set of Static Lunges (15 reps)
Rest 60 sec.
1 set of DB row (15 reps)
Rest 60 sec.
Repeat? Is that right?

[OldGuy]

Yes.

Remember, lunges are 15 reps per leg.

[Meagain]

And each leg is done all at once - right?
Not right/left/right, etc. - yes?

[Cynic]

Yes, you do 15 reps with one leg, then switch and do 15 reps for the other.
