Bench Press / Pendlay Rows
Bi Exercise / Tri Exercise
Squat / Calf Raise
Dip / Pull up</div>
I wouldn't recommend supersetting squats and calf raises (unless you are doing just one set of each and you start with squats). Your calf muscles are very important synergists and stabilisers when squatting heavy. They need to be as fresh as possible. Similarly, you wouldn't want weaken your core by supersetting hyper-extensions or ab crunches with squats.
I find I can't even manage standing presses properly if I hit calves beforehand. I just feel too unstable.
In general, though, supersetting is a great idea if you are able to hog a few stations. My favorite right now is a shoulder press/chin superset.
