Barbell Exercises 2
|
Double Barbell Shoulder Press
|
In this exercise you use two barbells for squat presses. You can also use bands for this exercise, like in the video. If you decide to use bands, keep outward pressure against the bands to activate the glutes. Perform as many reps as you can.
|
|
Double Barbell Lunge Press
|
Same double barbell setup as the previous exercise, but this time you are in a lunge position. You can either perform an alternate barbell press or press them together. You can also hold the lunge stationary or lunge up and down on each reps. This exercise works the glutes, thighs, shoulders, chest and triceps.

BB High Pull
|
The Barbell high pull is an excellent exercise for getting your heart rate up. Pull with high elbows and use your legs to do most of the lifting. Don't try to hold the barbell at the top of the movement.. let it fall back to the starting position. This is not a shoulder exercise. Some people will use their arms and shoulders too much. Make your legs do most of the work, this will increase your heart rate and burn calories.

BB Clean
|
Pull barbell with high elbows. At the height of the pull, rotate your hands under the barbell and push your elbows and upper arms into your body. This will stabilize the bar. Use your legs to do most of the work.

Shoulder Circuit:
Upright Rows + Lateral Raises + Barbell Push Presses |
This is an intense shoulder tri-set that will totally exhaust your deltoids (shoulders). Perform upright rows first, then follow with dumbbell lateral raises. These work the lateral deltoid. The last exercise is the barbell push press. The push press uses the legs to push your shoulders to exhaustion.

|
Barbell Clean and Press
|
Combine the barbell clean and the barbell push press into one exercise. The legs again are very important.
|
|
Barbell Squat Curls (biceps, quads)
|
Perform a full squat and curl the barbell on the way up. Keep your head up and don't bend too far forward on the way down into the squat. This would stress your lower back.
