Savage Mind

Has your progress plateaued because of your groundhog style workouts?

Are you doing the same thing over and over?

Get crazy. Break free once in a while. Shatter through your comfort zone.

Back when I was teaching strength, kettlebell classes and training clients I'd like to finish with this ladder routine.

They hated me for it but it was a great finisher at the end out the workout.

You leave everything on the floor. Your sweat. Your tears. Your soul.

You know how I roll. My fitness tips are simple and savage.

Basically, a ladder is a 2 exercise superset where you complete both exercises without stopping. You alternate between the 2 exercises.

Yeah Fil (that's my name by the way), but that's a superset what makes it so special?

Ahh, savage grasshopper, well here's the kicker: first exercise you start with maximum reps (eg: 10 squats) & the second exercise you start with minimal reps (eg: 1 push up).

First exercise, you descend the ladder of reps (1 less rep/set).

Second exercise, you ascend the ladder of reps (1 more rep/ set).

Frikkin' Genius.

This style of training is challenging and fun way to train for work capacity, conditioning, whatever you want to call it. Get your SHWEAT on .
