Supersets

well yeah, you could do a superset with full rest, i like it more, spechally if the goal is strenght, so fatigue from the first exercise doesnt affect the latter.
Do one exercise, then rest, then do the next, then rest, and repeat. But with shorter rest intervals between than if you would do straight sets.
Lets say bench press and bent over row:
Bench press wait 60 sec, row, wait 60 sec, repeat.
Instead of
Bench press, wait 120 sec, bench press, ....
Row wait 120 sec, row, ...
catch my drift?
and if you post the workout im sure we could help what to superset. If your going for strenght its a good idea to superset movements that dont use the same muscles. like oposite movements like bench press and rows. Or upper lower stuff, like squats and pullups, etc.

alright ill post my Workout B and if you guys help me with that I can do the rest:
Workout B:
Hang Cleans
Squats
Incline Bench Press or Military Press
Chin Ups (variations)
Bent over rows ( variations)
Tricep ISO
See if you can help me on that. I tend to take seriouslay 1 hour and 10 ish minutes to do this. I time my self in my head which could be a problem so I think i need a watch. But what can I superset and I can do them both perfectly with no fatigue.
I am bulking right now

military or incline and pullups can be supersetted.
So can bendt over row and incline or military.
Though, if you want the triceps iso to be part of the supersetting, id superset them with bendt over rows and superset pullups and incline or military.
The hang cleans and squats shouldnt be supersetted together (well depends a bit on goals, but i guess you want to keep numbers up and those two would limit eacother) I dont think its a big deal to do the first 2 movements without superset. Just play around with rest times, i usually use 1 min between exercises, so its about 2.5 mins between the same exercise, but my goal is more strenght than size.

If you're going to superset, focus on antagonist muscles. IE: Bench Press SS with Bent-Over row.
Also, don't rest between supersets. That's the point of a superset. You'll feel tired at first, but you're body will adjust and you'll be able to perform the sets no problem.
Alternate what you start with. If SS1 is Push then Pull, make SS2 Pull then Push. Rest after you've completed BOTH movements.
