Super fast all-body barbell workout | Men's Fitness UK
If your workout time is limited to a frantic gym session during lunch hour, an elaborate free weight circuit is out of the question. Even if you can snag yourself a gym ball, a medicine ball and some dumb-bells , you’ll piss off a lot of people if you try to hog the floor space necessary to lay all the kit out. What you need to do is a barbell complex – a routine made up of five barbell exercises done one after the other, without putting your barbell down. Originally developed by Eastern European weightlifters to help them stay lean, this type of circuit is now popular with UFC fighters such as Randy Couture , who use them to combine strength and cardio in one short workout – with killer grip strength as an added bonus.
On this page you will find some of my favourite dumbbell exercises. If your into weight training, chances are you train with both barbells and dumbbells. Dumbbells, like barbells can provide you with a fantastic workout that takes breaks down free weight training to its basic fundamentals.
