Tough Guy O-Lift Routine

November 30, 2007

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.

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.
