When trained men do superset workouts for chest exercises, they lift less total weight compared to other workout styles, meaning they might do less overall work.

Similar Assertions

A faster workout method called superset training cuts exercise time by over a third without reducing reps or weight, making workouts much more efficient for people who already exercise regularly.
