Another day of mocking my limits, pushing beyond my mentally imposed barriers and realities.

What a workout!

The idea with extreme fatigue is to exhaust a muscle group so completely that your entire body becomes drained of energy. All it wants to do is sleep and recover. And trust me, if you give this your all, you will sleep, and deeply.

As with everything, there are those who will disagree with this approach, and I want to be clear that this should not become your regular routine. It should only be used for those occasions when you really want to punish/push yourself, and don’t have to physically move for the following 24 hours.

WARNING: Always consult your physician or licensed medical practitioner before engaging in any form of exercise. This website, its author, or any readers cannot be held responsible for any injuries sustained attempting this workout. By attempting this workout, you are in agreement that you cannot sue.

BEST PRACTICE – FORM: Always focus on good form. While speed is important in high impact cardio training, speed can be developed over time. Good form is essential for every rep of every exercise during every workout.

BEST PRACTICE – WEIGHT: The weights listed for this workout are what I used. Use a weight that is challenging to you, but not enough as to cause injury.

Extreme Fatigue Technique

This applies to any muscle group.

SET 1:

• 6 reps – 80% max weight, regular speed
• Rest 10 seconds
• 6 reps – 80% max weight, as slow as possible
• Rest 2 minutes

SET 2:

• Repeat Set 1, including 2 minute rest at end

SET 3:

• 4 reps – 100% max weight, regular speed
• Rest 2 minutes

SET 4:

• Regular speed, 20% max weight, for 5 minutes continuous. Lower weight if needed.
• Rest 2 minutes

SET 5:

• Repeat Set 3

Do this for at least three unique muscle groups.

Remember to maintain good form at all times. Use lower weights rather than risk injury!

Enjoy your sleep.
