Swing the bell, squeeze the blade, tilt the pinky, elbows to the sky! That is the battle cry of the GIANT SET. There is more than one method to the madness and this one receives positive results for any fat shredding, muscle gaining goal.
GIANT SETS involve incorporating four, or more, bodybuilding exercises into one formidable set to stimulate one muscle group - or two opposing groupings (back and chest, for example) - more effectively than will an exclusive emphasis on straight sets training.
These exercise are performed back to back, only resting between grouping of sets. Then repeating for 3-4 rounds. Giant sets incorporate a greater amount of work into a smaller time frame. This allows for serious elevation in metabolic-rate (the rate at which we burn calories both during activity and at rest) to more effectively burn fat.
Performed in rotation with as little rest as possible between them, the four or more exercises that comprise each giant set are to be done with intensity, go for the gusto!
Resting between each exercise is to be kept to a minimum of about 10 seconds with no more than two minutes between each giant set.
Remember, giant sets are only effective in enhancing fat loss if enough intensity is applied to building muscle. Relaxing will only negate the purpose of each set, which is to build muscle and burn fat! Be sure to keep weight heavy and reps lower. If you are whipping through the exercises, you are not getting the benefit. It should be HARD and you should be EXHAUSTED. Each set should be achievable, but by the skin of your teeth!
