compound sets

I have quoted what shape fit says about Compound Sets.
How many pairing sets must I do when doing compund sets.

Say if I am doing three sets per exercise, when doing Compound, have
I got to do three sets x 2 exercises in a row with no rest ?!

Please advise.

A compound set is basically a superset for the same muscle group. For example, instead of pairing your chest exercise with a back exercise, you would do two chest exercises in a row. Rather than enhancing recovery, compound sets will pump your muscles to the extreme.

Many Thanks.

chest example - bench press, no rest, push up, rest 1 - 2mins x 2 - 4 cycles

Many thanks for your prompt response.

What do you mean by cycles, could you please
let me know by sets instead of cycles ?

Take Care

PS: I am glad that the Kangaroos beat the Kiwis in
Cricket.

Thanks Cheese and Swanso,

Well taken, 2 sets of each x 2 and tri sets means
2 sets x 3 with no rest at all.

The Aussies will teach the Kiwis a lesson by defeating
em on Friday.
