Barbell Exercises 1
|
Barbell Cpr's
|
Barbell Cpr's is a combination of different exercises. Start by (1) cleaning the bar to your shoulders. Then (2) press overhead and (3) lower the bar behind your head onto your shoulders. (4) Drop down into a squat, then (5) come up and press the bar overhead. Return the bar to starting position (in front of thighs).

Barbell 1-1/2 Squats
|
The Barbell 1-1/2 Squat is great for the thighs and glutes. The half squat puts emphasis on the glutes, whereas the full squat works the thigh muscles.

|
BB Half Squat + Jump Squats
|
This is the same combination as above but you add a Jump Squat in place of the regular squat. Along with working the butt and thighs, this is a great cardio workout.

|
Barbell Curl + Barbell Press
|
Bicep Curl and Shoulder Press combination:
Curl the barbell up and then continue up into a press. Do as many as you can do. Rest 60 sec and repeat. Continue for 5 cycles. |
|
Barbell Push Press
|
Barbell Push Press uses momentum to press the weight as many times as you can. Use your legs to 'pop' the weight up. Add this one to your fat burning circuit to burn some serious calories.

|
Barbell Lunge Press
|
The barbell lunge press is a very challenging exercise. Your upper and lower body are pushed hard if you go to failure (until you can't complete another rep). For some women, their arms give out first and for others, their legs (quads, glutes) give out first. Try the lunge press and see if your upper body or lower body becomes exhausted first.
