Full Body Barbell Workout

Sorry for the lack of posts this lately, this week I have been backing off my training to rest up a bit before the last big training push in preparation for Alberta's Strongest Man. During a back off week I train a little less frequently and with much less intensity. The goal here is to let my nervous system and body recover, without falling behind.

Here is the full body workout I did on Saturday instead of the usual upper body/lower body weekend split I use.
  • Mobility Work
  • Dynamic Warm-Up
    • empty barbell complex
  • Deadlifts
    • worked up to a single at 550lbs
  • A1 Clean and Strict Press
    • 4 x 3 @ 185lbs
  • A2 Pull-ups
    • 4 x 8
  • B1 Dips
    • 3 x 20
  • B2 GHR
    • 3 x 10
If you are looking for a simple full body workout this provide a good example. First pick a big lift like the squat or deadlift to increase your strength and thickness. Then choose an explosive compound lift to improve power and athleticism. And lastley bang out some reps to induce hypertrophy and promote blood flow to the muscles.
