Tip: Take This Squat Challenge

Only have a short amount of time to get in a workout? Want to test your mettle? Want to watch your gym buddies throw up? Try this.

9 Minutes of Hell

1. Load up the squat bar with 35-50% of your 1RM.
2. 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.
3. Set the timer for 2 minutes and again perform as many reps as you can. Rest for one minute.
4. Set the timer for 1 minute and do as many reps as you can without racking the bar.
5. Cry. Curse T Nation. Take in as much delicious oxygen as you can. Go home.
