Giant Sets...

[b fold the truth]

Anyone ever do these anymore???

I remember when I used to get bored with my routine in the gym I would do these and I'd do some pretty crazy things too.

Squat: 225 x 10
Leg Press: 10 reps
Hack Squat: 10 reps
Leg Extension: 10 reps
Leg Curl: 10 reps
Stairmaster: Hardest level for 3 minutes

I would go straight from one to another. None were done to failure...but the hack squats were always very tough to complete as well as the leg extensions and the curls. The stairmaster was done on the hardest (not fastest) level to the point where you just had to get through it...

There were several routines that I used to set up be it 5 different styles of squats (elevated heel, high bar/close stance, low bar/wide stance, 1 and 1/2 reps, front squats, etc...). I would just pick 5 or 6 exercises for legs and follow it up by 3 minutes on the stairmaster.

Our stairmaster was one where you had to make full range of motion steps...not the tiny steps that I see a lot of them doing now.

Anyone still do these???

I do them for my back - when I want to feel pain and soreness the next day.

B.B. Row
Wide Chins
V-grip cable row
Pulldowns
D.B. Pullover


rest 3 minutes and repeat 1 or 2 times.

But now a days - between heavy/lite day for snatches, I don't feel the need for that workout anymore.

my routine may be to advanced for some newbies, but i can garuntee it will work for anyone. Try my routine , doing it every day, 6-8x a day, for a month, and watch the pounds just fly onto your body. For a more detailed instruction pamphlet, you can send me a check with 145.99, and i'll give you one free phone consultation, a small pamphlet of information, and a free 2 lb jug of cell tech to really pack that mass on!.

Now back to being serious.

I've done giant sets before.

Bench
Dumbell Press
Flies
Tricep Pushdown
Flies
repeated 3 x. each time the bench , flies, and dumbell press was a difeerent plane (i.e. 1st giant set all flat , 2nd set, all incline, 3rd set all decline) i was in so much pain.

I don't see how you guys could do this for more than one time. I would be dead after my first giant set...
