Giant sets involve doing 4 or more exercises back-to-back with little to no rest in between. This strength training style is often used to develop greater muscle endurance and strength. It’s also an efficient way to train when you’re low on time. Additionally, many people who exercise at home may not have access to as heavy of weights as they’d like to. With this training approach, you’re sure to scorch those muscles even if you’re not going with your heaviest dumbbells.
For this workout, we will be going through 6 circuits of 4 exercises, completing each circuit twice before moving on (except the final circuit we just do once). The interval will be 30 seconds back-to-back for the 4 exercises followed by a 45-second rest. Each circuit will focus on a different muscle group in the upper body: triceps, biceps, chest, back, shoulders, and then our final circuit will focus on combo moves incorporating all muscle groups.
While this upper body giant sets workout can be made attainable for most everyone, it can be just the thing to help regular and advanced exercisers yield greater muscle definition and continue to stay challenged. We must keep challenging our bodies, minds, and muscles in new ways to keep changing for the better!
