9 Minutes of Hell
- Load up the squat bar with 35-50% of your 1RM.
- Set a timer for 3 minutes. Do as many quick reps (in good form) as you can in those three minutes. Then, rest for two minutes.
- Set the timer for 2 minutes and again perform as many reps as you can. Rest for one minute.
- Set the timer for 1 minute and do as many reps as you can without racking the bar.
- Cry. Curse T Nation. Take in as much delicious oxygen as you can. Go home.
