Super Sets

[Nihil31]

Hey so i was recommended to use Super sets for my workouts instead of my current standard type of workouts. Alright so my primary goal is to get a bit leaner but at the same time to slowly add on some size so basically a rwhat i was thinking of doing for 8 weeks, Any opinions or recommendations or if its even a good idea, note all, are 10 reps and three sets
Upper Body

Hammer Dumbell Bench Press+Hammer Curl
Dumbbell Shoulder Press+ Dumbbell Kickback
Deadlift+Shrugs

Lower Body:
Goblet Squat+Calve Raise
Romanian Deadlift+Lunges

i plan on adding in 4 sets of 30sec Planks on possibly upper body before i do the workout itself to avoid any problems of exhausted muscles

The exercise selection, order & superset pairings don't seem great for muscle building. If you're not looking to save time, I don't see much reason to superset an entire workout but for losing weight it won't hurt I guess. Don't really get the pre-workout planks either, but give your workout a try if you feel it'd work for you and adjust from there.

For the planks, it was literally just to get it out of the way and strengthen my core really, as we all probably had where we tried to do a plank after biceps tend to be a bit difficult lol

Well most people don't do planks at all, but still don't get prioritizing planks while keeping something like DLs at the end of the workout... but the whole program is set up diff than I'd want to do it. Give it a shot if you feel it fits your preferences & goals, and adjust based on how you respond to it.

Was just a recommendation by a friend, was originally doing full body workouts 3x a week but it was the first week anyways so nothing much of a loss really, i was originally doing a 5x a week 2-3 muscle group set up but always looking at ways to improve it and put on muscle during the recomp

You'll prob see better results just picking a proper novice program (or any program) & following it for a while, rather than constantly looking to improve your own. That usually leads to spinning your wheels due to lack of any consistency.

The only good thing supersets are good for is saving time.

Not sure why you are putting planks on a pedestal though…

It's the exercise we all love to hate and hate to love.

I don't think you understand what a superset is. You use opposing muscle groups back to back. Chest and back, etc.
