SUMMARY ***Stretch/Warmup
|
Circuit #2 - Leg Nuke |
We decided to start our own Manhattan Project with the purpose of bombing your legs!
Our project is not atomic but I guarantee your quads will be burning as if they
were irradiated after this workout. As opposed to some of our other workouts, this
one is rep-based. You still want to be mindful of time but this is to monitor your rest
periods. You want to keep them as short as possible to keep your leg pump high.
The workout is essentially plyometric so move quickly but don't sacrifice form for speed. Keep rest periods at a maximum of 30 seconds. You want to aim to complete the entire "cycle" as fast as possible. Once the cycle is complete, take a longer rest (1 - 3 minutes) and then hit it again. You should be able to finish 3-4 cycles and feel the burn. Each exercise can be done with just bodyweight but you can use a set of dumbbells or a resistance band to add stress. Your legs are the largest muscle group in your body and can take the extra weight. If you start to tire when using the extra weight, just switch back to bodyweight to finish out. This allows a group of people w/ varying degrees of strength to all workout together. Most exercises have been covered by us before but there are video examples below to refresh your memory. There are a few new exercises that may prove very difficult initially. The videos below for those exercises include a "progression" to help you work up to the actual exercise. Use the modified versions explained in the progression initially. |
