The Workout
Start with this as your primary movement. Warm up with 2 lighter sets first.
Form cues
- Position your upper back against a bench at roughly the bottom of your shoulder blades.
- Roll the barbell into your hip crease — use a bar pad for comfort.
- Drive through your heels, pushing your hips up until your shins are vertical and your torso is flat.
Advanced movement — prioritize form over weight.
Form cues
- Load the barbell with round plates so it can roll freely on the floor.
- Kneel behind the bar and grip it with hands shoulder-width apart.
- Brace your core and roll the bar forward slowly, extending at the shoulders and hips simultaneously.
Finish strong — take the last set close to failure.
Form cues
- Cradle the bar in your elbow creases with hands clasped together in front of your chest.
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and brace your core hard before descending.
- Squat down while keeping the bar close to your body and your torso as vertical as possible.
Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of fat loss training. Maintain heavy compound lifts to preserve muscle mass while in a caloric deficit. Add supersets and circuits for accessory work to increase training density. Keep protein high (1g per pound of bodyweight) and prioritize sleep for recovery.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 10-15 reps — high enough to keep your heart rate elevated
- Rest Periods: 30-60 seconds — short rest to maximize calorie burn
- Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for fat loss
Abs Training Tips
- *Heavy compound lifts train your abs hard — dedicated ab work is the finishing touch, not the foundation.
- *Anti-rotation and anti-extension exercises (pallof press, ab wheel) build real functional core strength.
- *Visible abs are made in the kitchen — no amount of crunches overcomes a caloric surplus.
