Lower Body Ladders

Hey everyone,

This past week, we completed a lower body workout using two different ladders.  Ladder workouts can be very intense, especially in the first few sets of 10, 9 and 8!  However, once you get through these long sets it becomes much easier!

For those of you new to ladders, you complete 10 reps of an exercise, followed by 9, followed by 8, all the way to 1 rep.  We have superset two different exercises to complete each part of this particular workout (10 reps  of exercise 1, followed by 10 reps of exercise 2, 9 reps of exercise 1, followed by 9 reps of exercise 2...)

Here is what we did: 

Ladder 1 

1. Trapbar Deadlifts

















2. Kettlebell Goblet Squats


















Ladder 2

1. Kettlebell Swings




2. Double Kettlebell Stepback Lunges


This is an efficient, but challenging workout if you minimize your rest between sets.  Give it a try and let us know what you think!
