Tip:

CHAINS ADD AN

INSTABILITY THAT REQUIRES A NATURAL COUNTERBALANCE.

CHAIN BARBELL SQUAT

WORKS: Core, Thighs

Stand with a barbell across your shoulder blades, chains hanging from both ends.

Place your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart (A).

Slowly lower into a squat until your thighs are slightly past parallel to the floor (B).

Rise explosively from the bottom of the squat, halving the time of the descent.

Perform three sets of 12, 10, and 8 reps.

Tip:

PRACTICE BRINGING HANDS TOGETHER BEFORE CROSSING THEM.

X JUMP PUSHUP WORKS:

Shoulders, Chest, Core

Get in pushup position, but place your feet about 30 inches apart.

Perform a pushup, then jump your legs together while staggering your hands, one palm in front of the other. Land with elbows slightly bent, not locked.

Jump your legs and arms back apart. Do another pushup, then repeat, driving your arms and legs inward and landing with your hands staggered.

Perform two sets of 20 reps.
