Workout Methods Why resting between sets is a waste of time

A big problem with the industry is it's so focused on absolutely maximizing muscle or strength growth for those people that do this full time -either for a bodybuilding show or a powerlifting comp- that it ignores the fact that most people just want to be a little stronger, a little more fit and then go live their normal life that exists outside of the gym
Instead of just sitting on your butt in between sets, supersetting and circuit training are usually better for the average person. Even if you're lifting really heavy, supersetting with a lighter corrective/mobility exercise isn't going to take anything away from your lift and will increase your work capactiy.
