Weekly Workout: Barbell Complex

This workout is inspired by a recent barbell complex I did. Barbell complexes can be more complex, so start with dumbbells or a lighter barbell until you get form down and build more strength. This workout provides not only strength training, but cardio as well. You can either use it as your only workout, or use it as a finisher to the rest of your workout. Make sure to focus on form first!

Try to keep this in one smooth continuous motion, without putting the weights down.

Do each one 5x then rest between sets.

Front Squat (hold dumbbells at shoulder level, you’re doing it right if your abs burn!)

Front Lunges (5 each leg)

Bent Over Row (keep elbows tucked by sides!)

Bicep Curl to Shoulder Press (5 each arm)

Put the weights down and do 5 Burpees. Rest (try for no longer than a minute). Repeat 3-5x.

Good luck!
