Giant Set Exercises is a great technique for burning a lot of calories through weight lifting. Generally, you will want to pick exercises that work two or three different muscle groups at once when performed.

Some exercises that work different muscle groups at once are…

• Squats
• Bent over rows
• Bench press
• Clean and press
• Pull ups
• Push ups

The object of giant sets is to do 5 to 6 different exercises back to back without any rest for a complete set. This will make you feel like you are sprinting because of the stress it will put on your muscles. It is okay if you can only do one complete set of this giant sets. It will be very demanding not only on your muscles but you will feel very winded as well. Combining exercises that favor the use of many different muscles groups and exercises that isolate one muscles group is okay to do.

An example of this combination might look something like this in a giant set form…

• Squats
• Tricep extensions
• Pull up
• Calf raise
• Bench press
• Bicep curl

Mixing different exercise in your giant sets every week will help confuse your muscles, which will help them grow faster. Use weights that you can perform 8 to 12 reps on. That is a perfect rep range for burning calories and building muscle for this giant set. On the last of your reps, whether it is 8 or 10, you should feel like you should be able to lift the bar one more time, but not more then that. You do not want to go to failure in every exercise but you want to fatigue each muscle in your giant set.
