One Bar Workout

Less is more. Sometimes, you need to step away from medicine balls, stretch bands, BOSU balls and other assorted toys. If you are looking to challenge yourself, all you need is an Olympic bar and two plates. You will need to be proficient in some complex movements like the deadlift, hang clean and front squat. If you are unable to perform these exercises, hopefully the challenge being laid out will inspire you to learn. The following workout is a circuit that will challenge you physically and mentally. The exercises of the circuit are (in order)

Deadlift
Romanian Deadlift
Barbell Row
Hang Clean
Front Squat
Push Press
Back Squat

Start by completing six reps of each exercise (6 reps X deadlift, 6 reps X RDL, 6 reps X barbell row, 6 reps X hang clean, 6 reps X front squat, 6 reps X push press, 6 reps X back squat). Do not put the bar down during the sequence. Once you have finished the 6 reps, take 90 seconds rest. Repeat the same sequence, performing 5 reps of each exercise. After performing 5 reps of each exercise, take 90 seconds rest. Repeat this process for 4 reps, 3 reps, 2 reps and 1 rep. Good luck.
