Squat and push-up progressions

The workout comes with a built-in warm-up and built-in core hit.

20 - 45# squats; push-ups from the knees
15 - 65# squats; push-ups on a bench
10 - 95# squats; push-ups on a low bench (step bench, two risers)
8 - 105# squats; push-ups on a lower bench (one riser)
6 - 115# squats; push-ups with ankles on the ball
5 - 125# squats; push-ups like Ellen's.

Finished with ten minutes of moderate rowing.

I have no idea what you did but that looks like a lot of squats and pushups! Yay you!

haha. here is the code:

20 squats with 45 lbs (barbell) and 20 pushups from the knees. next set,15 squats with a 65 lb barbell, and 15 slightly harder pushups... and so on.

next time (or if i had more time), i would try to do the whole progression twice, or at least as far i could get.
