So New Year's morning, while walking the dog in the rain, I put together a few barbell complex workouts. I even tested one on one of
my training guinea pigs Saturday morning. Good times.
my training guinea pigs Saturday morning. Good times.
FACT: My New Year`s Resolution is to create more TT Training Workouts in 2011 than in any other year.
I also had a flash of brilliance/craziness about a new program that I'm going to call, "Muscle Murder: Capital Punishment". It's based on some programs I've been giving my Toronto Meathead clients.
But today, I want to give you 3 workouts for your New Year's Fat Loss:
#1 - A sample Barbell Complex workout
- You can do this circuit 3-5 times at the end of a workout to replace interval training.
- Do not rest between exercises.
- Rest 1 minute at the end of the circuit before repeating.
- Men: Use a 45 pound bar.
- Women: Use the 25 pound EZ-curl bar
(You can also do it with bodyweight only to start and substitute pushups for military press.)
Squat - 6 reps
Forward Lunge - 6 reps per side
Good Morning - 6 reps
Military Press - 6 reps
Front Squat - 6 reps
RDL - 6 reps

For the barbell complex for females...can you just do 2 sets of the front squats? I have an EZ curl bar, but no squat rack as I work out at home. Or, assuming you can handle the 25lb weight, can you curl the bar up with a overhand grip, then military press it straight up, then rest it behind you in the proper back squat postion? (of course I would not dare try this with a heavier weight though!)
Thanks!
