Big Food is trying to kill you. Here's how to fight back. 🧵

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Shorten the time between sets, and it's like an automatic cardio boost

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

FOURTEEN giant sets. Dang I'm sweaty. If you shorten the times between sets, body temp and overall intensity go way up

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

First giant set today: barbell press, Arnold dumbbell press, rear hyperextensions, and standing ab roll outs. Halfway through the workout, switch the two shoulder presses for tricep extensions (pushdowns and overhead)

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Todays giant set (14 sets so far) is push-ups, incline bench press, rear leg lifts, and standing ab rollouts. Dang I'm sweaty now

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Giant sets are a form of HIIT--high intensity interval training--and I find they put you INTO your workout in such a way that 45 minutes can pass in an eyeblink

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Wow just tried and succeeded at a standing ab roll out with a 45lb plate on my back

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Leg day--it used to be a trial, now with giant sets I just plow through front squats, hyperextensions and weighted standing ab rollouts (with a 35lb plate on my back to boot)

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Before I did giant sets at every workout I would struggle to really sweat. Now that I'm doing giant sets every workout sweating through the shirt is no prob, happens every workout

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

One of the best things about giant sets is the momentum it gives your workout. Finish a set? You know what comes next, go go go

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Fifteen giant sets later, I'm soaked in sweat and going home to go back to sleep for an hour

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

One giant set completed and I can already feel my body activating in response to the challenge: strength, stamina, etc

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Just discovering the joys of working out to video game soundtracks. The music is literally designed to allow you to focus on stuff other than the music. It's motivating gotta say

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Gotta say even I am surprised by how much giant sets organize and motivate you. As soon as you finish each cycle, you find yourself at the beginning again, raring to go

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

The great thing about hitting a stubborn body part like abdominals every day is that the muscles keep getting stronger. I can now do a standing ab roll out with a 35 lb plate on my back

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Trying something new: no iced beverage at the gym. I used to use it to keep from overheating but the giant sets allow me to warm up gradually. Let's see what happens. Should also save a lot of workout time

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Ah the momentum and inertia of the giant set...didn't feel like doing any working out at all this morning but the structure of the giant set lured me in and now I am cranking out sets

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

14 giant sets (the 10lb plate stands for 10 giant sets) .... now I'm spent, drenched, dripping sweat on my phone screen

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Nine giant sets completed so far

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

One plate, one giant set completed--let's see how many I can do in 60 minutes (doing giant sets consisting of push-ups, bench press, hyperextensions and standing ab roll-outs)

[Prometheus Johnson 🤸‍♂️🥩🧐 @PrometheusJohns]

Amazing how easy giant sets make working out. Every time I come to the gym I know exactly what I'm doing and how it's benefitting me. And now I'm soaked in sweat to boot
