Do supersets build muscle faster than normal weight lifting workouts?

Do supersets actualy build muscle faster than not superseting weight lifting workouts? I notice when I superset I can't lift as much because I do not have the energy, but I know that HGH comes into play more when you superset. Any help?

1. It's doesn't necessarily build muscle faster but it certainly works your muscles more and rips them. Warm up with some very light weights and then go onto single set workouts. Once you're fully ready to go start on your supersets. As an example when I do supersets, no matter what I'm training I do 20 reps for each set on the maximum weight I can do to reach 20. That way you're lifting your max and ripping your muscles but also working on muscular strength and endurance.

See what works for you. I spent about 3-4 weeks just experimenting in the gym before I knew what worked for me and what I like.

2. No.
Muscle builds at the same rate no matter what. The only difference is if you do low weights and high rep your muscles will bulk more but you will have 0 muscle stamina. Which means you only have a lot of strength for a short amount of time.
You want to balance your reps and weight so that you can get at least 3 sets of 10 reps in with each set of weights. You want to build stamina as well as strength.
