This workout will include barbell complexes. So, instead of doing long, slow boring cardio, you are going to do a much shorter and faster way of doing it that is also fun. This workout is also a good replacement for interval training, bodyweight circuits, or high intensity cardio.

In this 6x6 workout, you will do six exercises for six repetitions each.

To start out, you'll do a Barbell Squat. So, place the barbell up across your shoulders, push your hips back, squat down, and drive up.

Up next is the Overhead Raise. Place the bar in front of you at shoulder height, and raise the barbell up overhead.

Following six reps of the overhead raise, you'll now do a Front Squat. So, the same as the first type of squat, with the exception that the bar bell will now be held across your chest.

Once you've finished the squat exercise, you'll go right into the Wide Grip Upright Row or a High Pull. The narrow grip is too rough on your shoulders.

Next up is the Romanian Deadlift. Place the barbell down across your thighs, and with a slight bend in the knees, push your hips back.

Finishing off the workout you will do a conventional Deadlift for six reps.

That's it for the circuit. Rest one minute and then go through it two more times. So, if you don't fee like doing a bodyweight circuit, traditional interval training, or high intensity cardio, then this is a great alternative.

  • vipero00 - A simple bodyweight warm-up is fine. Since you are not using any weight, and using this as more of a conditioning workout, you dont need a long warmup. Also, well typically use this after a regular lifting session, so the muscles will already be prepared.

  • fightywhitey - You're right that is just a regular overhead press.

    archimmes - I'll make a video of the differences!

  • You've copyrighted exercises? LMAO.

    Well, I've copyrighted running...yes, running. No one can show running on anything ever without giving me credit.

    See how rediculous you sound?

  • That's not a push press. That's just a shoulder press. When doing a push press, you go into a quarter squat and use your legs to drive up and give the weight a jump start through the low range of the press. This allows you to do more weight without injuring your shoulder.

  • people discussing weighht - please stfu - those are not 45 lb plates, and this isnt about weight this is for conditioning.

  • Your RDL is wrong... you don't know what you're talking about... and who is breathing that hard lifting 55# on the second set of 6 reps? Sounds like you should be working on your cardio instead of making videos

  • @cbathletics 20 burpees is pretty much the best warmup you can do, imo

  • its so hard to burn belly fat, i guess i would never have my "six pack abs" i would just give up:( i don't want to give up, but i don't know what to eat or what not to... its so hard:(

  • @nameht55 You're wrong.

  • Narrow grip isnt rough on the shoulders, its just that your trapezius are weak

  • i really hope those are not 45 lb on the sides... cuz if they are then i'm a little bitch :/

  • barbell complex's are the core of my workout, one i like is:

    Push-ups off the bar on the floor, pop up to the feet into high pulls, clean to the chest for shoulder press, drop behind the head for squats, back over again for bent over rows. love barbell complex's

  • @nameht55 Do you know what a bumper plate is? All bumper plates have the same diameter. 15lb is a very common bumper plate weight as the 10lb bumpers tend to fold over when loaded alone.
