The Hoffman Half Dozen

June 29, 2010

Bob Hoffman was a pioneer in the iron game and the owner of the York Barbell Company.

Hoffman was the mad behind the famous York Barbell Courses and his writings and company influenced bodybuilders and weight lifters for over half a century.

The routine below is based on Hoffman’s own opinion of the best exercises to perform for getting stronger. His six personal favorites combine to make this routine – something that I call the Hoffman Half Dozen.

The Hoffman Half Dozen

Overhead Press 5 x 5
Squats 5 x 5
Overhead Squat 2 x 10
Deadlift 2 x 10
Power Clean 5 x 5
Barbell Curl 5 x 5

Notes: Perform this workout 2-3 times per week. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water.
