Steve Maxwell – Two-Minute – One-Rep Workout – A System of Challenges

A REAL, MINIMALIST APPROACH THAT WILL TAX YOUR STRENGTH

The Two-Minute / One-Rep exercise system is a fantastic way to learn to control the breathing response while under tension.

Even though you are moving really slowly — almost as a series of isometrics — it’s amazing how much this method taxes the cardio-respiratory system.

The Two-Minute / One-Rep exercise system is a time-honored protocol popular with Russian martial artists which can greatly increase muscular strength and hypertrophy.
