Workout #2

Workout #2 is essentially the squat workout. Just like the deadlift workout, everything is geared toward having one peak set of squats. I start off by warming up on the elliptical again. The first two sets of squats are warm up sets.

I wasn’t able to find good reference material for this workout. There is a decent article on squatting here. A decent video of the squat is available here.

The second exercise of the workout is front squat. I find the front squat tougher than regular squats. I don’t have very good hip flexibility. That is why I added this particular exercise. I hold the bar using more of a olympic lifting form rather than the bodybuilding form. Check out this video for a better explanation.

Just as with deadlifts, I squat bare foot.

I don’t have too much more to add. This is a quick workout but I am still sore two days later. A lot of people complain about not having enough time to exercise. Next time you are procrastinating, hit START on your stopwatch. It will probably add up to at least 36:23 every single week.
