Explosive exercises to boost lean muscle power

If lean, powerful muscle mass and minimal body fat is your goal, you need to take an intelligent approach to your training. By performing explosive exercises, you can build muscle size and boost your metabolism, burning through fat stores to reveal your lean mass. Here's how:

Try plyometrics for bodyweight exercises that pack a punch

Plyometric lunges:
Perform bodyweight lunges, jumping to transition between leading legs

Squat jumps:
Squat down low then power up into a jump, alternating between a narrow and wide stance

Squat hangs:
Standing beneath a high bar, squat low to load the legs, then power up to catch the bar. Hold momentarily, drop into a squat, load and jump again

Box jumps:
Set up a sturdy bench or box and jump on to it then step off backwards. To start slowly, try stepping up and down, alternating legs

Sprints and hill reps for powerful legs

Use a running track to do short (100m, 200m or 400m) sprints to add a valuable boost to your training programme.

Run hill repetitions using a short but steep hill, jogging or walking back down for recovery. Pump your arms to bring your upper body into the equation. Make use of local playing fields or sports pitches by sprinting hard for a short distance, jogging to recover, and then sprinting again for up to 12 repetitions.

When you start adding more interval running into your training routine you'll find that your muscle definition will show through. Sci-MX NOX 3000 Hardcore helps accelerate this process by boosting nitric oxide levels in your body naturally, causing lasting muscle pump.
