I know that there has been similar threads to this one put up but I have a question I want answered. As most of you know, I have been doing an UB/LB split for my training. I always superset on these days, ex) bench press straight to bent over rows, short rest, and then repeat. I really like doing this because I feel like my chest can rest while I am doing rows (vice versa) and the only thing I have to catch up on is my breathing for 30 seconds or so after each superset. When I do single body part training, ex) Bench press, 1-1.30 sec rest, and another bech press set, I find myself waiting too long for my muscles to rest up inbetween sets and feel I could be using this time more wisely to throw in a superset.
So here is my question: Physiologically speaking, is there any disadvantage to doing the supersets in my routine like I have been? Would it be better if more blood were able go to the one muscle or the other soley for maximum hypertrophy? or is it fine that it is dispersed between the two during a superset/multi body part workout? The weight that I am able to move on a superset day is no different than a single body part day. Discuss....
