    Please note
    Superset - one exercise followed by the other, rest, repeat
    Tri sets - all 3 exercises, rest, repeat desired sets
    Circuit - complete each exercise for one set, rest, repeat for desired sets

    After each set take  20 – 40 seconds rest, enough rest to achieve the reps in the next set
