The major goal of giant sets training, then, is to complete each set of each exercise (a good rep range for both fat loss and muscle building being around eight to 12) with nothing left in the tank before moving onto the next set (exercise). Though this statement might appear self contradictory, it is worth noting that intensity, in bodybuilding terms, is defined by failure attained at the completion of a set.

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 as much intensity as one can muster. Sound good? How might you best include giant sets in your training regime? Read on to find out. This allows one to do more while seriously elevating their metabolic-rate (the rate at which we burn calories both during activity and at rest) to more effectively burn fat. While any form of weight training-from three to four straight sets per body part to supersets (two sets performed back to back), drop sets (one set broken into three parts, each subsequent set after the first comprised of a 30 percent weight reduction) and rest pause training (upon a set's completion, rest for around two seconds before completing several more reps) - will assist fat loss, giant sets incorporate a greater amount of work into a smaller timeframe. One weight training method that has received positive results for many weight loss candidates is giant sets, which are generally thought to involve incorporating four, or more, bodybuilding exercises into one arduous set that, if done correctly, will stimulate one muscle group-or two opposing groupings (back and chest, for example)-more effectively than will an exclusive emphasis on straight sets training. Today it is known that to successfully lose weight and keep it off it is, as a fundamental pre-requisite to long-lasting results, important to build as much muscle as one possibly can, a process often dictated as much by genetics as it is facilitated through good eating and hard training. And valuable muscle would be the biggest casualty. Impossible to maintain, once such a schedule was in any way compromised though the addition of 'bad' calories (food that contained, heaven forbid, fat or high carbohydrates) in larger amounts than thought necessary, any fat weight lost would inevitably be piled right back on, with interest.
