Intense Ladder Workout

So this week I was putting a few of my "lab rats" through some new routines while designing the new bonus program, "The TT SuperChargerz Workout". (That's a free bonus for folks who ordered John Romaniello's program the other week, and it will be done this weekend.) One of the workouts "hit the spot", so to speak. My client loved it. Here's how it went down. It was a "Ladder Workout"...and no, it doesn't involve climbing any ladders. With ladder workouts, you simply choose 1, 2, or 3 exercises, and then do: 10 reps per exercise 9 reps per exericse and so on. Of course, you can also start with 1 rep, then 2, and work your way up to the top. What I had my client do the other day was use these moves: - Barbell squats (Using 33% of his maximum squat weight...for him, it was 100 pounds, because he can squat at least 300 pounds) - Decline Pushups - Inverted Rows (A TRX row would have been a beauty to do) And do an Ascending-Descending Ladder, like this (with as little rest as possible between sets): Set 1: 1 rep of squats, pushups, rows Set 2: 2 reps of squats, pushups, rows All the way up to 10, and then all the way back down. It doesn't take very long, but gives you 110 reps per exercise. POW! Right in the ol' belly fat. Some sweet belly fat burning action right there. Now most ladders use kettlebell swings, but I subbed in the 33% Intensity Squat as an experiment, and it worked perfectly. It causes fatigue but NO muscle soreness the next day. The perfect total body fat burning stimulus right there. Okay, that's it for today, I have to finish the "TT SuperChargerz Workout".
