Giant Sets are your friend!
What is a giant set you ask? A great way to "mix things up" at the gym. It consists of 3 or more exercise sets done in straight succession with little to no rest.
These are almost guaranteed to make you sore - in a good way.
I usually pick related muscle groups to develop the set, e.g., back and biceps; chest, shoulders, triceps; all legs; etc.
Example from tonight's workout:
Dumbbell bicep concentration curls, followed by T-bar rows, then chin-ups, then low rows, then lat pull downs.
I went from one exercise to the other with virtually no rest in between. I rested for about 3 minutes after the giant set before beginning another one. I did this 4 times for 20 total working sets.
You can get a lot done in a little time with giant sets. All of the above took less than an hour to complete.
"Challenge" yourself to a good giant set workout the next time you're in the gym.
