Spring Training: New Workout Ideas

Add Some Madness to Your March Workouts

Invigorate your training plan and challenge your body like never before with these insane-sounding exercise methods

Grab a Barbell and Go Crazy

Sick of waiting behind other gym-goers for your next bench or machine? Go to the least-used part of your gym—the squat rack—and beat the crowd with this one-barbell, six-move workout.

To do it, perform 6 reps of each exercise, with no rest between moves. After you finish all the exercises, rest for 1 minute, then repeat all the moves (and rest) two more times. Don’t drop the barbell between rounds.

The exercises:
Barbell Squat
Barbell Good Morning
Barbell Split Jerk
Barbell Deadlift
Barbell Hang Pull
Barbell Front Squat
