Good to see there is know three of us that have felt the pain!!

well here is my experience with this

I had my bottle of HRS ready before I hit the gym. On the way there, I was praying that the so called leg excercisers would not be in the way. You know, the people who load the sled with 800 lbs to do 1/4 pushes with the hands on the knees.

Im currently bulking right now so my reps have been 8-9 with a few minutes between sets which was going to make this a little challenging. But I love the pain of a good workout.

The place was empty and good to go. The first 15 reps of this insane workout went ok, but getting the next 5 was tuff. Then your mind starts to think, if this hurts, what the hell are the leg extensions going to feel like! But as I said, I love the pain of a good work out, so that was on positive that kept me going. You have to keep thinking of the positives and not get into the mind frame of, this cant be done, lets stop etc.

The rest was good and by this point, I was fully committed. Not going to do 40 squats and leg curls and quit! My legs were pumped, but I wanted more.

Side note, the HRS came in handy. That was one way to keep me going, looking forward to that sip after a set.

When I got to the sled, I was now in some deep do do! Those slow reps kill. Thats all I will say, you have to really to this routine to understand what a few of us here are talking about it. With regards to the hack squat on the thrid set, my legs were so pumped and this was really a new meaning of a "deep pain".

After the last set of the squats, a friend came over to me and said, "I see your lifting lite, are you cutting?" I was hunched over, looked up and handed him the paper I brought to the gym. He looked at it for a few minutes and said "Screw that, your nuts man"

I gave him a look that if I could have stood up, I would throw a 45 lb plate at him.

Onto calves- The only good thing about this, it makes you forget about your quads for a few minutes. I went in sets of 25, 15, 10, 10, 5, 10.

The drive home was interesting and because my 9 month old daughter is sleeping when I get home to the gym, I had to carry the blender down stairs, go back up to get the milk, back down to mix and come back up to drink

All in all, I would give this leg routine 5 out of 5. It has not been a full 24 hours so I know by tonight, my legs are going to be killing me, but thats what you want with this. If you want to challenge yourself and really jumpstart your legs, this is it.


1 question- what is the frequency of this routine? Should you include this weekly, monthly etc?

ps

give us some more insane routines

I stopped after 8 to 9 weeks straight on this leg routine. Work was getting in the way and I found if I missed one week I paid dearly for it.
I would suggest doing this routine only once per week and for 8 weeks. You want another pain routine here it is for chest.

Pick a weight you fail at for 10 reps on the bench press to start your first set once you have done a warm-up set or two.
Balance beam push ups is performed with a board in the shape of a T. With the fulcrum in the middle it forces you to stabilize yourself while performing push ups with your feet on the bench and your hands on the board shoulder width apart.
Parallel bar push ups you need a small set of parallel bars about a foot of the ground or just use two flat benchs. What you want to do is a push up but because you are off the floor ( with feet on bench again) you extend your range of motion.

This is another tri set for the chest no rest during the set
Set 1
bench press x10
Balance beam push ups to failure
Parallel bar push ups to failure
rest 2 min

Set 2
bench press (add weight) x6-8
Balance beam push ups to failure
Parallel bar push ups to failure
rest 2 min

Set 3
bench press (add weight) x4-6
Balance beam push ups to failure
Parallel bar push ups to failure
rest 3 min

Set 4
bench press ( drop weight) x 10
Balance beam push ups to failure
Parallel bar push ups to failure

Do this routine once per week.

That is it for chest, guaranteed to give you a pump on chest.

Thanks tyalana,

Ill give this one a shot tomorrow. But are you doing these "insane pain" workouts instead of regular workouts? Or mixing in


ps

my legs are ok today, but my calves OMG


Ill update on Monday and keep those insane workouts coming

I'll do these in place of regular workouts. I have found success with also doing a LIGHT chest workout also 72 hours after doing this one, all depends on the person.

thanks for the info T
