Supersets
I think I am totally confused about what my physical reaction should be to these new exercises. I expected to be so tired and just have to fight for every rep. Instead it was ok….it was not easy but it was not hard. Perhaps I am not going heavy enough. At the end I was not fatigued and the exercises seem simple. Now I am only speaking from the few hours after. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. It is possible I won’t be able to walk tomorrow. So we shall see. I guess I want more and I want it now. I want to hit the gym and go hard every time. In this case it will be wait and see because, after 6 different types of leg exercises and 30 min of hard push it cardio I still have something left to give. Or perhaps I am finally getting a hang of this.

Supersets work best when you do your first set to failure. When you cant muster enough strength to do one more rep. Throw the weight down and choose a lighter one to continue to fatigue the muscle. Sometimes i even drop it further on the next set until Im only doing the motion without weight. Then you know the muscle is shot. Good luck

I had a simular situation last weekend. Did sets of 5 x 5 with legs, squats and leg press.
I felt great the next morning it was not until late that afternoon i started to feel the strain.
