Today I decided to mix a max effort squat workout with a kettlebell fat burning complex. Here is the workout I did:
front squat, working up to a max single (by max I mean I got buried in the squat rack on my last set)
kettlebell complex (you can use a barbell or dumbbells instead), 4 rounds of 5-10 reps per drill
renegade row or barbell roll out
high pull
push press
reverse lunge
good morning
stiff leg deadlift/bent over row combo
I like to mix heavy work with metabolic work. I find that if I just train heavy I don't get enough reps in to elevate my metabolism. Singles make you strong, but they don't make you lean! Plus this makes it fun. Stress yourself out a bit trying not to get smashed by a big weight, then bang out some conditioning so you feel like you "worked out".
If you have never done a front squat, watch this video. Just don't try 200 kg until you know what you are doing!
