2 exersises at same time?

[Krect]

Ive Not been lifting very long, i need to lose some body fat but i want to get muscle. So i was thinking if i did 2 exersises at the same time e.g ( set of benchpress no rest staight into side lat raises & repeat x3) just trying to keep my heart rate up & save time but i don't know? Is it a waist of time? Am i over doing it?

thats what my upper/lower does

its called super sets
imo it saves lots of time
increases hr
and i think its a great way to progressive overload

Yup, that's a super-set. Nothing wrong with it at all!

Em mate supersets are great, but very very tiring.
At least in my case.

I don't suggest doing too many of em.
