Barry Sanders leg workout

Just recently found out about this workout at school by some of the coaches there, at 1st i was real skeptical about the effectiveness of this exercise. But BELIEVE me, this is really, really useful in shaping your legs, creating speed, quickness, agility, jump, and overall endurance. It is called the Barry Sanders workout. Basically what it is, is a complete series (no rest in between exercises) of leg workouts, that works your legs to failure.
Steps:
1)20 squats Step
2)20 alternating front lunges Step
3)20 Jump Lunges Step
4)Ice skaters (basically explosive jumps side to side)
5)Jump Squats
once you finish this, ur legs should be pretty wasted! But the object is two complete at least 2 series without resting AT ALL. The reason it is named barry sanders, is because the hall of famer used to complete 13 sets of this back to back nonstop.

    1. yep all body weight, i used to do this in high school. basically the only set that matters is the last one you do when your legs are noodles and your blood is battery acid all the other sets just get you there

  4. do 10 squats,
    do 10 lunges step on each leg, alternate them when you do it.
    do 10 lunge jump per leg, alternate and under control.
    do 10 skate jumps per leg, under control and as wide you can get.
    finish up with 10 squat jumps, as high as you can get.
    now your legs are burning, THEN do it one more time. :)
