The Hip-Belt Squat Workout...

Here's an example of a typical belt squat routine for developing strength, power, muscles, and cardiovascular density:

Set 1: Warm up set, 20 reps. @ 180lbs
Set 2: Warm up set, 15 reps. @ 270lbs
Set 3: Warm up set, 10 reps. @ 360lbs
Set 4: HEAVY set, 8 reps to positive failure! @ 430lbs
Set 5: HIGH REP set, 40 reps. @ 90lbs


MY LEGS ARE SMOKED!

Cash Out - 

Rope Hammer Curl - 100x10, 110x10, 120x10, 130x10


Barbell Curl - 1x20 @ 35lbs


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:  Descending Levels of Rest-Pauses Between Each Set (in other words, if you're just starting out on this program, you're probably a level 1 and as such, will need between 2 1/2 to 3 minutes of rest between each set):
  • Level 1: 2-1/2 to 3 minutes
  • Level 2: 2 to 2-1/2 minutes
  • Level 3: 1 to 1-1/2 minutes
  • Level 4: 45 to 60 seconds
  • Level 5: 30 seconds
Stay at each level approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next level.
