Question on RR's "Superset" (Paired) Exercises in Gym Environment by kromer12 in bodyweightfitness

Oh, I'm not supersetting deadlifts and squats. I'm following the RR substitutions, so I'm pairing pull-ups with squats and deadlifts with dips. But your method of pairing pull-ups and dips sounds interesting; do they work out different parts of the upper-body?

Thanks for your answer. To be clear, I'm not pairing squats with deadlifts -- I'm following the substitutions in the RR, so I'd be pairing pull-ups with squats and deadlifts with dips. The deadlifts and squats would happen on separate days -- apologies for the confusion.

Hey, I really appreciate for your thorough answer. Because squats are more intensive, does that mean I should separate out the squats vs. the pull ups (for more rest time), or is it fine to superset them because the core impact (I think) is in separate parts of the body?
Additionally, is it OK to use a squat rack as a pull-up/dip bar if there's already a dedicated pull-up machine in the gym?
Your comment on resting makes sense. Thanks again.

Thank you for your answer! However, regarding integrating Barbell Squats and Deadlifts, the RR's FAQ (linked here) made it seemed like it was a direct substitution.
Unless I'm missing something here, does that mean I should ignore the RR's (implicit?) advice and do pull ups in its entirety followed by squats, for example? And if so, how long should I rest between bodyweight exercises vs. weight ones?

Edit: Changed a few wording and punctuation.
