This 15-minute giant set workout will leave your arms looking jacked

We all have had good intentions at the start of the year to hit the gym hard and build muscle, but if you’ve found these goals slowly slipping away into the distance, then what you need is some quick-fire workouts that pack a punch. This giant superset has you covered in the guns department and you'll have no problem filling out your tee-sleeves afterward. All you need is a pair of light dumbbells, a chair, or a weight bench.

You’ve probably heard of a superset, where you perform two exercises consecutively with no rest. A giant set is similar, but is made up of three or more exercises (in this workout’s case, it’s five). According to fitness supplier, Dmoose: “Giant sets are great for building muscle and burning fat because they elevate your heart rate for an extended period. This training style stimulates the recruitment of more muscle fibers, leading to greater increases in both strength and size.” They're also great for building muscle endurance and when you're short on time.
