Trying to superset or circuit train in a crowded gym can feel like an impossible task. You grab a bench, turn around for two seconds, and—boom—someone’s taken it. Now imagine trying to occupy four or more pieces of equipment at once. Good luck!

But don’t worry—there’s a smart way to do it. The key is to organize your exercises so that you can perform multiple movements at a single station. Here’s a two-day full-body routine that does just that.
