The Sweat Equity Complex

In these times of economic austerity, it's great to know that some things don't need much financial equity but can be gained through sweat equity - ie good old fashioned hard work!

Sometimes, especially with lower body training, there is no way around putting in some sweat equity. The returns you get are more than worth the initial sweat equity.

I've had great results with myself and others using this brutal complex as a finisher to promote muscle gain (hypertrophy), fat loss, muscular endurance and even helping to teach athletes to remain powerful and explosive while extremely fatigued.

Try this lower body complex from PT Nick Tumminello of Performance U. Throw it in at the end of a leg session, certainly not before the session!

20 body weight squats (fast and powerful)

12 squat jumps (powerful, jump high!)

20 second static hold with thighs parallel to the ground (ie bottom of the squat position)

REPEAT ad nauseam!

My friend and training partner, celebrity PT and Biosignature Practitioner Ben Lauder-Dykes and I managed to go through it 3 times with no rest in between, at the end of our lower body sessions. I challenge you guys and girls to beat that! Let me know if you do!
