You don’t need heavy weights to get stronger.

You just need to move with purpose and precision.

Instead of counting reps, you’ll perform each movement for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of rest.

This keeps the workout flowing while creating enough recovery to sustain effort across all four exercises.

To maximize results, treat each set like a sprint.

Focus on quality form, explosive effort, and full-body control.
