A sequence of three or more exercises performed with little rest, often for the same muscle group.
Why Giant set matters
Giant sets save time and create a strong local training effect, but performance normally drops across the sequence.
A practical example
Lateral raises, cable presses and reverse flyes performed consecutively before resting.
Common mistake
Using complex heavy exercises in a fatigued sequence that makes safe technique difficult.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
