Build Explosive Leg Power and Super Strength

Here’s a video of the best leg exercises to quickly make your thighs and calves super strong and give you explosive muscular power.

It’s an exercise that will give you optimal functional strength by developing balance at the same time by utilizing the strength of one leg to it’s max. In CoreForce Energy, I want to develop your strength so your strong at any angle and so your core and limbs work together synergistically.

This will improve your overall strength whether you do weight lifting, bodyweight exercises like Combat Conditioning, or martial arts, and will certainly help you with any sporty you’re involved in.

One Set Will Exhaust Your Legs
And Engage Every Muscle Fiber

Best of all, this exercise will exhaust your legs to failure in a very short time. And, of course, going to failure is one of the fastest ways to develop super strength, stamina, by recruiting as many muscle fibers as possible.

Take a towel and loop around the door handles like you’ll see in the video on this blog.

Grip the ends of the towel and straddle the door to begin what appears to be a normal squat at first. It’s not.

Pay close attention and listen to the way you do it. You’re going to be squatting down and up with what appears like both legs working equally.

But, in fact, you’re using one leg as a training partner and barely putting any pressure on it. It will be there to help when the other leg begins failing and cant do another repetition.

Keep your back straight, and lean back holding on to the ends of the securely placed towel. This will not only help protect your back, but put more weight on that one leg while developing your grip strength as well.

On your first rep, you’re counting the up motion instead of your first downward motion. So, in essence you’re starting your counting not standing up but from the squat position.

Focus Your Body Energy

Count one is shooting your body energy straight up from the floor at a moderate speed and coming back down. To finish this “one rep”, you go back up at a slightly slower speed and then count 5 counts lowering your entire bodyweight back down in a negative rep fashion.

This is all what I call one rep. Then you know deep down you can’t do another rep like this, you do your best to get back to the standing position just one last time and then you lower yourself down with a 6 count.

Only One Set Creates Super Strength Quickly

Then, use your other “training partner” leg to slightly help yourself back up and begin a 4 count rep downward. Repeat this to failure. This is only one set. Never do this set again in the same day. Go on to something else and let the muscles recuperate sufficiently – otherwise you’ll be working yourself backwards.

You’re legs should burn like never before and you’ll be building some serious muscular strength quickly.

This is perfect for those who can’t do what Pavel Tsatsouline, calls the “pistol” – the one legged squat. But believe me, in a short time, your legs will develop both the strength and balance to be able to do these. Then, guess what, you do the pistols the exact same way with positive reps at different speeds and negatives to failure!

You might want to call the fire department.

Creating a Blitzkrieg of Elastic Strength

If you want to achieve your ultimate body strength for more power and speed, you need to work on developing what I call elastic strength.

Elastic strength is really functional strength in a sense and something that will help you with your weight training to combat conditioning exercises to martial arts.

Elastic strength is both flexible and strong at the same time. In many ways, I think it better describes functional strength because strength in real life should flex, recoil, and be super stable and strong whenever you choose within an instant.

Elastic strength can snap either way almost instantly and is closer to an electrical lightning strike than the muscle recruitment connotation that the phrase “functional strength” denotes.

How I like to think of strength being created is that it’s a constant blitzkrieg of lightning strikes that  engage the muscles. At the same time, that extreme electrical charge doesn’t freeze up the muscles but makes them flexible and where one movement blends into the next with renewed vigor.

If you were to spend your time in the gym with your eyes closed, you’d hear constipated breathing all around you. Really listen the next time you’re there and almost nothing you hear sounds like fluid powerful breathing when you think about it.

It certainly doesn’t sound like the breath of elastic strength. Unfortunately, it sounds very much like constipated angular breathing where one breath doesn’t flow into the next.

A “grunt” usually starts the lift and then a strong exhale. The breath in to recover is either a gasp or hardly heard.

Then, when you really look and open your eyes, you’ll see most lifting with movements that don’t really flow from one movement to the next as one does in body weight exercises. No wonder why many weight lifters don’t have real functional strength or elastic strength.

In fact, you’ll see a lot of what I call constipated movement which happens when the “Grunt”(muscle head) flexes many muscles in short heaving motions that are static and short. Shorter than they should be because too many muscles are recruited for the actual movement they’re doing.

Tension creates shortness of movement  and quick constipated breathing that doesn’t move. In turn, this creates constipated cramped movements – hence little elastic functional strength.

You are what you practice. So, if you’re going to lift weights with grunts, constipated breathing, and static movements, you’re fighting against yourself to achieve your fluid optimal strength.

Instead of thinking how your muscles are going to lift a weight, think about how much elastic energy it’ll take to complete your reps. When you REALLY know how to create a firestorm of electrical synapses to your muscles, those muscles with respond with powerful contractions.

When your brain comprehends that your strength should contain elastic strength, then a flight plan for fluid movement has already automatically been predetermined and you’ll have energy to burn, breath to spare, while achieving fluid and powerful functional strength – Elastic Strength.

P.S. CoreForce Energy will show you exactly how to create a blitzkrieg of lightning strikes that will engage your muscles to create super strength that moves and flows with supple energy – Elastic Strength.
