Tough Guy O-Lift Routine

This is a nice little routine that features Olympic lifts that will pack on slabs of muscle and send your strength levels through the roof. I call it the tough guy routine because you have to be a rough hombre to do it.

The exercises are not easy, but they are extremely effective.

Squats, deadlifts and the O-lifts work because:

A.) They’re hard to do.
B.) They work the entire body.
C.) They must be performed with max intensity.

If you aren’t used to performing the Olympic lifts, practice them with zero weight on the bar until you get a good feel for the exercise and the technique down pat.

The program will work your body hard so limit it to 2-3 days per week.

Tough Guy O-Lift Routine

Overhead Squats
Power Cleans
Overhead Press
Snatches

Notes: Make sure you lift heavy and with max intensity to get the full benefit from your efforts. Get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.

Sandbag Circuit From Hell

Sorry I haven’t written as many posts lately, but I’ve been working hard to get the Workout Warriors site and the WW Webstore finished.

Here’s a nice little workout to get your blood pumping and muscles working overtime. I call it the Sandbag Circuit from Hell.

Here’s how it works: Grab a sandbag, 50-100 pounds, and perform a circuit of overhead pressing, followed by bent-over rows and then squats. You can do these by number of reps, by a certain amount of time or by going to failure. Rest one

You will do 3-5 circuits of this routine and the key is – DO NOT let the bag touch the floor at all. If you need to rest, keep the bag in your arms on your head, wherever – just don’t let it touch the floor. Do not rest during a circuit. Only take a breather between circuits and make sure it’s no more than a minute or two, unless you’re not in good enough shape. In that case, work at your own pace.

Notes: Perform 3-5 circuits with minimal rest, 2-3 days per week. Make sure you lift heavy and with max intensity to get the full benefit from your efforts. Get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water.

Ultra-Abbreviated Week: Saturday

This is the finale of our series on Ultra-Abbreviated training. Here’s a little recap for you.

Ultra-abbreviated workouts consist of one or two exercises, usually worked to failure, and performed once or twice per week.

This series will focus on one exercise, worked brutally hard, everyday. So when you’re done, it will be five exercises done over five days. It’s lifting everyday with a twist.

If you decide to follow this routine, you’ll do the exercise of the day and end with a finisher That’s it, no more, nada. This is truly a very effective routine provided you work hard, eat right and get the proper rest.

As always, don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself and watch your strength soar.

Squats

Note: You don’t need any finishers after hard squatting. Believe me if you perform squats hard and intense, you won’t want to do anything else. Make sure you lift heavy and with max intensity to get the full benefit from your efforts. Get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water.

Happy Thanksgiving

No workouts today. Just enjoy the food, family and football.

This is a time to be thankful for all we have. We have a tendency to focus only on things that are going bad in our lives, but if you really look around, you’ll see most of it is pretty good.

This is time to be with family and friends and be grateful and thankful for the life we have. Gratitude is a very powerful emotion, we should use it more.

So eat your turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes and enjoy them because you’ll have to work it off on Friday.

Take care everyone and have a happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving.
