Most exercises throughout the routines are performed as a mini superset/complex set or circuit. The workouts illustrate which exercises are grouped together, therefor be sure to pair up exercises as modified supersets/complex sets.
For example, during upper body portions, back rows and chest presses are typically paired together. This allows maximal muscle activation, force production, and time efficiency. The lifter would do the first row, rest for the allotted time,
perform the chest press, rest the allotted time, then repeat this circuit for the desired number of sets before moving to the next circuit.
