I’ve already experimented with doing double supersets for shoulders, today I tried doing them for chest.
I do a set of dumbbell floor press, then a set of dumbbell Flyes, then another set of floor press, and a second set of Flyes. That’s four total sets without resting.
Rest three minutes then do it again!

This serves two purposes:
1) it saves time, I get a lot more done in a shorter span of time.
2) it ensures that I complete two movements, pressing and Flyes. Sometimes, if I did presses first, I might decide to skip Flyes, and they’re both important and shouldn’t be skipped.

I was looking through some JayMail from bodybuilder Jay Cutler, and in one of them he recommended not to do giant sets, where you do 3, 4, or 5 sets in a row without stopping, because it is harder in your joints than your muscles.

You can easily tear muscles and tendons with light weight if you push too hard in terms of volume vs time so I think Jay is right as usual
