    Supersets are where you pair two exercises and complete them back to back, almost in a circuit.

    So if it was chest day, one superset could be
    A1 Chest fly
    A2 Push ups

    And you repeat the exercises for the number of sets you're doing and the number of reps e.g. 3 x8 for each would mean you would do A1 8 times followed by A2 8 times and then repeat x3.

    However, I'm no expert but I think I'm right in saying usually they say to superset opposing muscle groups or opposing motions i.e. like a push and a pull.

    I usually alternate muscle groups for supersets. So if it's chest and tris day I could do the chest fly then dips.

    Here's a bunch of short 20min intense workouts, one for each of the major muscle groups. most of these workouts contain supersets. Watch the videos and they'll give you a good idea of what supersets are...
