- BARBELL EXERCISES
Hi everyone!
On the last Thursday I talked about what you could do with resistance bands. We’re going to switch gears over to barbells, because, even though, a lot of us have worked with barbells plenty of times before in classes or one-to-one coaching, or even on your own, I thought it would be important to re-address this topic a little bit and give you all a quick run-down of all of the barbell exercises that I could think of and then we’re going to categorize them into:
Power
Strength
Here’s the list:
Exercise | For Power (Reps) | For Strength (Reps) |
|---|---|---|
Barbell Squat | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Bench Press | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Deadlift | 3-6 | 8-12 |
— | ||
Barbell Front Squat | 3-6 | 8-10 |
Barbell Walking Lunges | N/A | 10-20/side (Depends upon experience) |
Barbell Shoulder Press | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Bent-Over Row | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell RDL | N/A | 8-15 |
Barbell Lunges | 3-5 | 8-16/side |
Barbell Stiff-Leg Deadlift | N/A | 8-15 |
Barbell Incline Bench-Press | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Overhead Walking Lunge | N/A | 10-20/side (Depending upon experience) |
Barbell Clean | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Decline Bench Press | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Upright Row | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Overhead Squats | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Snatches | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Clean + Jerk | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Barbell Push-Press | 3-6 | 8-12 |
Okay…. That was a lot, and truth be told - there’s way more!
However, there are reasons for me doing this:
It gives you all a very large number of exercises to choose from - there’s more freedom in choice.
You can snapshot this screen and take them to the gym with you, or just open up this email and follow them
The exercises I have given you target nearly every single muscle in the human body, provided you structure your session correctly such as bench, deadlifts, and lunges.
Final notes: Your rest periods are going to be substantially longer for power training, than for strength training. For example: for power, anywhere from 2-5 minutes as a general rule of thumb.
For strength training, your rest periods can be 60-120 seconds.
Thanks for reading guys! I appreciate your support.
