BW Squats 24 reps Alternate Lunges 12 reps (each leg) Alternate Split Jump 12 reps (each leg) Squat Jumps 24 reps Repeat for a total of 4-6 times. I love the leg cranks too, but i think the jump squats should be 12 rather than 24. You have ignored this user.

Hey guys,

The JC leg cranks (like anything) are open to interpretation. As I mentioned above, I sometimes add weight to them, or I'll increase all the reps for my stronger athletes.

Change reps from 24-24-24-12 to 36-36-36-18.

Another leg crank style series I like is: JUMP - SQUAT - HOLD

Jump for 30 seconds, squat for 30 seconds, and then hold the lower squat position for 30 seconds. This one is brutal. The secret is to jump as high as possible (if you can jump 24 inches, your feet better not be only 2 inches of the ground). Try this one for yourself or on your clients etc. For my tougher guys I'll have them do two or three of these in a row.

Taku -
When I was a competitive skateboarder I used to skate pools for hours. On my way home, I would get cramps in my entire leg...The quads would start to go, and when I would bend my leg to relax the quads, the hamstrings would light up. AGONY.

Would have made a funny YouTube video watching me trying to find a pain free position.

lol! Same thing has happened to me at a couple ultra events. It's funny but it sucks.
