LATERAL BURPEE

OVER BARBELL

Place the bar on the ground

(phew!) and stand sideways

to it. Crouch and place your

hands on the fl oor, jump your

feet behind you, do a push-

up, jump your feet underneath

you, then extend your legs and

hips and leap laterally over

the bar. Repeat immediately

on the other side.

FRONT SQUAT

At the top of your last

deadlift, clean the bar

into a front rack posi-

tion — elbows lifted,

chest up, feet hip-width

apart. Now push your

hips back and lower

into a squat, keeping

your elbows as parallel

as possible. Extend your

knees and hips and

come to standing.

BARBELL

COMPLEX WORKOUT

After a thorough warm-up, perform

the moves in order, completing all reps

for one set before moving to the next,

without putting down the barbell until

the burpees. Rest two to three minutes

between rounds and shoot for three to

fi ve total rounds, depending on your

fi tness level.

Keeping the bar in

to full extension of your

arms, then lower to the

start.

THRUSTER

With the bar in the

front rack position,

squat down to just

below parallel, then

quickly stand and

use that momen-

tum to explosively

press the bar over-

head. Lower to the

start and go right

into the next rep.
