Weight lifting question [View All]

[Droopy]

I've been working out for about a month now and I've been lifting weights in an unconventional manner. I work out on 12 different weight machines designed to work every muscle in the upper body. The machines are numbered 1-12. I start my workout at #1 then I proceed to do all the machines in order. I do one set on each machine before moving to the next. I do three laps starting again at #1 after finishing a set on #12. I guess that is what is called super sets.

A couple of days ago when I went to the gym it was too busy for me to do my super sets. I had to lift conventionally working on one machine then resting a minute before doing my next set on the same machine. I found that this way of lifting was a somewhat more difficult and it seemed to be a better workout.

It seems that doing super sets is more of a cardio workout compared to conventional lifting. I don't rest between machines. But conventional lifting seems more effective on my muscles.

I don't really want to look like a body builder. I just want to lose weight and get stronger. Which weight lifting method should I use to achieve my goals?
