Pick ONE exercise, preferably a big, compound exercise for best results. Like I said, I used barbell squats - 225 lbs. Pick a weight you could get 12-15 reps with in a straight set. You're going to use that same weight for the whole workout and you're going to be doing it for 40 minutes straight. Nothing else.

Start your timer, then do a set of 3 reps. Rest 10 seconds. Do another set of 3 reps. Rest 10 seconds.

Repeat this pattern (keep going continuously...it may take 10 minutes or more here) until you would have to really grind out 3 reps...stop at 2 reps. Then take 10 seconds rest.

Then you'll start doing sets of TWO reps, on 10 seconds rest.

When you would have to grind two reps, stop at one rep. Take 10 seconds rest.

Then do sets of ONE rep, on 10 seconds rest.

When you have to grind out the one rep, now we're going to increase rest to 20 seconds and go back to 3 rep sets and repeat.

...then 2 reps and repeat...then 1 rep and repeat.

Then, again, when you have to grind that one rep, increase to 30 seconds rest and 3 reps...then 2 reps...then 1 rep again.

This method uses the concept of "front loading" to do more work up front, while you're stronger, then gradually decreasing workload as you fatigue...then ramping it back up with more rest (similar to wave loading "ish") then going through the "drop" sequence again.

Make sure you're doing good form reps on each set....this is very high volume training, so you want to practice good form, and the weight is not so heavy that you can't do it.

By the time I was finishing up the last set of singles on 30 seconds rest, it felt like I could feel the individual muscle fibers in my quads firing....MASSIVE overload on the entire lower body.

You can use this method with any big compound exercise, too, as long as you do just ONE exercise per workout.

It's a great "shocker" workout for one-time use, or you can use it regularly, slowly increasing the weight each week (for example, if you can make it past 10 minutes on 3 reps sets on 10 seconds rest, increase the weight next time).

Enjoy!

Now It's Time To Be Inspired...

Mike Gillette was one of the smallest and weakest kids in his class... he grew up in what was basically a broken home...domestic abuse, drugs, alcohol...the works.

You see, when Mike was a child he couldn’t have been further away from the person he is today.

He was small. He was weak. And he was afraid of EVERYTHING.

His personal story is one of weakness transformed into strength.

You can watch my full interview with Mike here...

We covered his background (amazing stuff), why he does what does and HOW he mentally "flips the switch" to instantly perform at the highest level and how YOU can take YOUR mind to the next level as well.

This is great stuff and it'll really help you get to know one of the most impressive and exceptional people I've had the privilege of talking to...and see what makes him tick.

Check out the interview here...

(and just fyi, he doesn't call himself "man of steel"...it just seemed very appropriate for him!)

To give you a little more background, Mike has time spent as:

*An army paratrooper

*A SWAT commander

*A member of the Martial Arts Masters Hall of Fame

*A counter-terrorism consultant to the Department of Homeland Security

*A bodyguard to Fortune 500 executives and film stars,like Sylvester Stallone, and…

*A record-setting strongman who has been featured in Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and Guinness World Records

Mental strength isn’t genetic. You’re not born with toughness of mind.

No. Mike developed a tough mind by dealing with what life threw at him.

He knows what it takes to go from your ‘today’ self to your tough-minded ‘warrior’ self.

He understands you can literally take ANYONE - applying his Three Steps of mastering mental toughness - and instantly improve how they deal with situational changes or a crisis when it arises.
