Horizontal training vs vertical training

[Fuddy]

For hypertrophy, which is usually better? Do all sets of one exercise before moving on to the next - or do one set of one exercise, then one set of the next exercise, etc.?

I definitely get more pump ( for what that's really worth) doing horizontal method, but the rest periods make for a longer workout time... just wondering what method is likely to elicit greater growth?

I suspect horizontal....?

I’m assuming this is just an insanely complicated way to talk about super-setting right?

Well, I'm talking about moving through 5,6 different exercises here, through the entire w o session. Not just super-setting 2. But yeah, I do tend to make things insanely complicated, according to the wife...

So you are talking about circuit training of some sort as opposed to straight sets. Never know a mass monster to do movements as a circuit. Virtually all work 1 muscle till they are finished with it the move to the next muscle.
For health reasons i suspect a circuit style is best.
Mostly what you like to do and will apply yourself top the most works the best in my experience.

I don't understand...

Will be good for cardio, calorie burn, but inferior for size and strength. Make harder to track progress
