12 November AM WOD – Speed Squats

Posted by: soonmethod on: November 12, 2008

Wednesday November 12, 2008 AM Workout:  7:56 AM – 8:29 AM
TRY THIS for a Serious Burn… Full repetitions, each rep done as quickly as possible. 
Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, up to standing position (knees slightly bent)…
On Every 10th Rep, Hold at the Squatting position for 5 counts, then continue.

SQUATS :: SETS OF 105 REPETITIONS (with a 9lbs exercise bar)
5 sets x 105 reps/set 
Total: 525 repetitions

SQUATS :: SETS OF 55 REPETITIONS (with a 9lbs exercise bar)
10 sets x 55 reps/set  Total: 550 repetitions

Took me 33 minutes to do 1,075 squats this morning.
Keep Challenging yourself.  When I first started doing high-repetition squats, I could barely do a set of 40 reps.
