    WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

    AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible)

    1 – BARBELL DEADLIFT

    10 reps

    • Stand behind the bar with feet hip to shoulder-width apart. The feet should be close to the bar.
    • From here, bend the knees slightly and push the hips back to bend down and grab the bar, keeping back straight. Once you have the bar, keep the back straight, engage the core, and drive the hips forward and up, returning to standing. Keep the shoulder and core set through the movement.
    • When you have a full hip extension, keep everything engaged as you slightly bend the knees and reverse the move to lower the bar (either back to the floor or a low hang position).
    • Repeat. 

    2 – BARBELL CLEAN

    8 reps

    • Stand over the barbell, feet hip-width apart. Engage the core and keep the spine neutral as you squat down and lift the bar to standing. 
    • In this position, set the shoulders and core. Keep the knees slightly bent, and allow the bar to rest against the front of the thighs.
    • Begin the movement by forcefully driving the hips up and forwards as you straighten the legs. 
    • As soon as the hips are fully extended, quickly drop the body under the bar. Catch the barbell in the front rack position (across the front of shoulders and elbows as high as possible) in a quarter squat.
    • Lower the barbell to the start position (standing with bent knees).
    • Repeat.

    3 – BARBELL PUSH-PRESS

    6 reps

    • With your feet shoulder-width apart, grab the barbell.
    • Place the bar on the front of your shoulders. 
    • Drop into a shallow squat. 
    • Then, press up using your heels while simultaneously driving the bar above your head until your arms are straight. 
    • Lower the bar down to your chest. 
    • Repeat.
