Just a question regarding the alternating sets, are these supersets, i.e. no rest in between or do you do one set then rest 60 secs then do the other set?
From what I read in the book it says rest, but then people refer to them as supersets?

They are not true super sets. They are alternating sets- do #1, rest, do # 2, rest, do #1 , rest, do #2 rest, move to #3.If that was to be done in 2 sets.Hope this helps.0

most of the time i forgot to alternate in stage 1...
does it really make a difference?0 -
Alternating gives the muscles that you worked on the first exercise enough rest so they can perform to their optimum ability. If the rest periods are too short between sets , the muscles don't have a chance to recover for the next set.0
