Little Giant Angle Iron Dolly

How was your last workout? Get a good sweat going? Was it an exciting, heart pounding, hour or two adrenaline rush?

Okay, let us be honorable for a moment, lifting weights or cycling on a stationary for an hour is not rather as scintillating as, say – just in regards to anything. A set of 12 repetitions is called repetitious for a reason. It is not almost as stimulating as fast court break or an open man running a post pattern or leveling a running back (for most people). After all, pumping iron is basically up, down, up, down – oh boy!

So, how does one make working out a little less boring? There is that whole pushing myself to new levels and the deep, inner gratification of knowing that I am sculpting my body into a innovative Da Vinci masterpiece, or something like that. Or back to the up, down, up, down, you get the picture, heck you are in the picture.

On the other hand, most of us in the gym are individualists. We are not team players; we are at the gym in silent (or grunting and heaving) pursuit of our person goals. And the rush of blood gorging into our biceps or Pecs or quads is near nirvana. Crank out that last rep, drop that the weight (poundage you never dreamed you could do), and feel your muscles growing right in front of your eyes. Ah, that pump!

That said, the same old workouts may get stale, genuinely stale. So, here is something a little dissimilar for your workouts. Have you tried giant sets lately? If you have, then you know what it is like. Great! If not, you need to do this, occasionally, to juice your body and give it a new, deep, loving morning after ache.

I am going to give you a couple of representative giant sets from which you may adjust to your situation.

Example Number One – Chest:

1. Bench press

2. Incline Flyes (30 degree angle bench)

3. Dumbbell pullover

4. Flat Bench Flyes

5. Dips

A set comprises of the whole circuit, no rest amidst exercises. Do 4 sets. Rest amid 1 and 2 minutes amidst sets. Keep reps amidst 8 and 12. No forced reps and go to with regards to 90% failure. The goal to be attained is to keep forcing blood into your whole torso cavity.

Example Number Two – Biceps:

1. Dumbbell Curls (both arms, same time)

2. Barbell Curls

3. Reverse Curls with EZ bar

4. Underhand pull downs (reverse grip)

Again, it is a circuit. No rest amid exercises. Do no more than 3 sets and keep reps amid 8 and 12. Rest when it comes to 1 to 2 minutes amongst sets to catch your breath.

As for the other body parts, use the examples as a guide. Group 4 to 5 exercises for the major body elements and 3 to 4 for minor body parts. But do not just throw dissimilar exercises together. Do them sequentially, so that each exercise flows to that next one and there is a rhythm and reason to it.

For example again, get started with a compound exercise (bicep being the exception), go to an isolation exercise, and then go to an exercise that allows constituents of your target area to rest. Go back to an isolation exercise and then finish off with a compound movement, to hit the whole area a final time. For example, the chest again:

• Bench press – compound movement, hits the whole upper body area

• Incline Flyes – focuses on upper chest, starts to slam blood directly into Pecs

• Pullovers – Pec’s getting pumped, as are the tri’s and delts. Now use your lats and ribcage muscles, compensating for the tri’s and delts weakening, to keep blood pumping to the Pecs. Plus helps stretch the Pecs and ribcage.

• Flat Bench Flyes – With biceps basically fresh and front delts getting a little rest for the duration of pullovers, you may keep slamming the blood into the Pecs.

• Dips – Triceps got galore rest for the duration of last exercise, may now support for the duration of this last overall compound movement.

So, there is the principle behind the exercise selection. Apply that to the rest of your body parts.

With giant sets, your sweat level will go through the roof. Actually get good cardio in here. Do this for regarding 3 weeks before going back to your old up, down, up, down. By the way, spend the 1st week, getting a feel for what poundage you may use and then go all out for 2 weeks. Each body percentage gets hit twice a week.

Going into the future, try doing giant sets with regards to each 4th or 5th workout, just to keep your body guessing. And this assumes that you have been working out for over a year. If you are still new to pumping iron, stick with the straight sets for now.

And remember, with giant set workouts, you will have to go for the pump, which means go lighter if you need too.
