So the other day I was in the gym and decided to try to combo an exercise. I was doing shoulders and decided to do an upright row with a wide grip, and at the top of the movement i just took my elbows under and went into a standing shoulder press. Then i brought it back down to the top of the upright row, and then did the down motion of the upright row. It worked incredibly and I'm going to try and do this with at least one exercise per bodypart.

Anybody else have any good combos or techniques youve kinda stumbled on?
 
The clean & jerk.
 
Core

Here's a goody. Hang with arms bent from a chin-up bar, feet off the ground (sort of like you're half-way thru a chin-up). Now crunch up until feet above head. Then do it to the left...then to the right. Never touch ground.

Whopper of a core workout.

Front Squat (which is my favorite squat varient).

And, just being inventive with the equipment I have in my garage: setting up exercise stations, and using "active rest varients" to solicite additional calorie burning and bring a change of pace and shock.

For example. Front Squat with a 3 minute rest period. During the first minute, I perform a light varient of the dead lift (10 reps), then to the cycle for 30 seconds of "plate weight cardio" for "half-out" short bursts, and then move to a light variant of the DB Lunge, and rest the remaining, and repeat.

yeah im loving these combos. its just so crazy to combine 2 exercises into 1 like the front squats into overhead press. they are nice and fluid and get u burned the hell out.

keep 'em comin!
 
i think i remember learning the bear:
power clean
front squat
push press
put bar on back, back squat
push press
lower weight
bent over row

thats 1 rep.
 
Complex:

5 Power cleans
5 Front Squats
5 OH press
5 BO row

x5 with 2 min rest in between each

Die.

20 lb med ball thrown against a high wall as fast as you can. Drop into a front squat when you catch it and launch it up as high as you can. Jump up when you do this. 1 minute on, 1 min off. x5

Push a truck up and down a street until you puke

I've only seen one guy at the gym doing that. Nobody else can do it. It's pretty impressive ;)
 
PB, the whole thing is one giant set, hence a "complex". You rest after all the reps are done.

I think it's easiest to push yourself hard on the truck push. For the lifting and wallball, you can kind of rest a little in between reps. You have to keep the truck moving when you push it.

And as for that hanging rotation, I can do it, but I keep my legs straight :D
