What is the best fat burning technique in the Gym?
Giant sets
These 2 techniques can be used as one long set with little rest needed if the exercises are chosen properly.
This is how to sequence the exercises for best results.
First off you should choose exercises of opposing muscle groups. For example Chest and back.
Choose 2 compound movements first such as;
Bench Press
Bent Over Rows
want to make a giant set you then choose 2 isolation movements or lower skill compounds movements that require less muscle groups to stabilise such as;
Smith Machine Incline Press
Wide Grip Lat Pulldown
Finally you can grab 2 isolation movements such as;
Cable Flyes
Cable Pullovers
On your first round start with warm up weights on each exercise. The good thing about giant sets is that by the time you do your second round you are warmed up and can go to close to your maximum weight.
Because you are now using opposing muscle groups you won’t need to rest.
Because the exercises are becoming less taxing you can keep going from exercise to exercise without resting.
Your only rest will be to change the weights.
I have used this technique during contest preps as a method to increase my metabolic rate and to burn a lot of calories.
It can be used with many opposing muscle groups and with all sorts of different exercises.
Try it for 2 weeks and see how much it can lean you out. Obviously you need to be mindful of your diet as well.
