A rainy day here in Calgary kept me inside this morning so I hit the stair case in my building for my morning cardio. I am not a big cardio fan but I do find that a quick workout in the morning stimulates my metabolism nicely. Try it out if you are struggling with your weight. In the afternoon I hit the gym for some heavy lifting. I choose the Zercher Squat today to build more leg, back and ab strength. Zerchers are a great way to build brute strength for any sport.

AM

• Stairs

• 8 times up my 7.5 story building in under 20 minutes

PM

• Bottoms Up Zercher Squats
• worked up to a max single
• Kettlebell Snatches 5 x 10/arm

Here is a video of the Zercher Squat. Basically just hold the bar in the crook of your arms and get going. Contract your abs hard and try to stay vertical. If you really work at it you just might hit 605lbs like this monster in the video!
