Often times within Persist training you will see multiple exercises within the same training section (A, B, C, D, et cetera). When this occurs, this is referred to as a "superset" and the exercises are to be performed together in sequence. Below are a few examples of how to perform supersets within FBB's Persist programming.

For example from our PUMP track:

In this case you would perform 10-15 repetitions of the Band Assisted Nordic Hamstring Curl or Hamstring Curl Machine at 20X0 tempo then rest :30 seconds. Then you would perform 15-20 Hand-Supported Suitcase Calf Raise or Standing Calf Raise Machine at 11X1 tempo then rest :60 - :90 seconds. You would then repeat this sequence one or two more times for a total of 2-3 working sets. (Hamstring curls then calf raises)

For example from our PERFORM track:

In this case you would perform 10-12 repetitions of the Single Arm Dumbbell Powell Raise Right at 20X0 tempo then rest :15 seconds. Then you would perform 10-12 Tripod Dumbbell Elbow Row Right at 11X1 tempo then rest :30 - :60 seconds. Then you would perform 10-12 repetitions of the Single Arm Dumbbell Powell Raise Left at 20X0 tempo then rest :15 seconds. Then you would perform 10-12 Tripod Dumbbell Elbow Row Left at 11X1 tempo then rest :30 - :60 seconds.

You would then repeat this sequence one more times for a total of 2 working sets.

PRO TIP: Try to time your rest between exercises and sets precisely as this rest is designed to elicit a specific response from your body.
