It will get you breathing heavy, fire up your hamstrings, glutes, grips and core. You will also be developing the fast fibres in your body. This leg workout exercise can be done with two hands one hand! Personally, I started with two hands and when it felt right, made the switch to one handed which transfers very well to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling and martial arts in general. “
