Prowler High Intensity Muscular Endurance Workout
|
The Prowler is a killer workout for building up muscular endurance in the legs, hips, arms, and shoulders. This video is of my initial trial of the prowler and I was impressed by just how hard this machine really is.
If you have access to one, I highly recommend incorporating it as part of your workouts. Simply doing a 5-10 laps with this machine at the end of your workouts will really help build up your overall conditioning. Another big plus to this is it will really get that lactic acid burn going throughout your legs, which is great for stimulating natural Growth Hormone release. |

Killer Bodyweight Leg Workout… “No Gym Required!”
No Gym? No Problem!
You can still get a killer workout using no equipment at all.
Just last month my good friend Dave Ruel and I did this awesome bodyweight leg workout while we were on vacation in Cuba and it was a totally spur of the moment, made up on the spot type of workout.
The little hotel gym that was on the resort sucked… Old flimsy equipment, no squat rack, basically your typical junky hotel gym. And to make it even worse it was packed with people. I guess all the tourists were feeling guilty from over indulging in the all you can eat buffet 
Anyway, we said the hell with the gym and decided to do some training outside. So below is a video clip of our outdoor bodyweight plyometric style leg workout.
Check it out…
Here’s the leg circuit routine that we did:
- Walking lunges for the length of the basketball court
- 10+ box jumps on a 2 foot high box
- 10+ vertical jumps starting from a full squat
- 25+ 1 leg standing calve raises
- 25+ bodyweight squats on your tippy toes (i.e. aka hindu squats)
Repeat the circuit at least 3 times. If you are feeling extra energetic you can do more, but 3 times through will be a killer workout for most people.

Carl added 77 pounds to his squat in 5 weeks!
This is an e-mail that I got the other day from one of my website followers and I wanted to share it with you here because it’s a pretty awesome success story…
Hi Lee,
It’s one of your fans Carl.
I just finished the 20 rep squat program that you posted,
and I felt like I had to send you a mail about how it went.First of all I have never made fast gains like this before, I went from squatting
176 lbs for 20 reps to squatting 253 lbs for 20 reps in just 5 weeks!On top of that, when I started the 20 rep squat program, I could only
do 10 chin ups, now I can get 17 good reps with my own bodyweight.
My dips have also improved similarly.But the thing that surprised me the most, is that after I completed
this workout (where there is no actual bench pressing) I increased
my personal best bench press by 22 lbs. I gotta say thank you for
sharing this program with me, and to let you know that I’m going to
be getting more of your programs very soon.Thanks so much,
CarlP.S.
Lee I think you owe me some new pants, my legs have grown so much
from the 20 rep squat program that none of my pants fit anymore
I think you’ll have to agree that those are some awesome gains. Have you made that kind of progress in your workouts over the past 5 weeks? If not then why not give the 20 rep squat routine a try for yourself.
Here is a video showing how to do the 20 rep squat workout:

Leg Workout Exercise Routine
I hope you had a great holiday. I certainly did…
Got to spend some quality time with family and friends. That’s the stuff that really matters the most. I did “cheat” on my diet a little, but nothing too drastic. A second helping here, and a bit of dessert there, but I never gained any blubber so it’s all good
Both myself and my girlfriend Patricia are now back on our regular schedules again and we did our first workout since xmas.
We trained legs the other day and posted up a video clip of the workout below:
