Fat Bar Workout

I use four different types of fat bars: a Bull Moose rotating Olympic 2 inch diameter bar, a non-rotating piece of 2 inch solid stock, a globe barbell with a 1 3/8 inch handle and dumbbells with my Limited Edition Brass Handles (set up with the rotating design). I realize that most of you don't have those options, but that is OK. The two I use most are the Bull Moose rotating bar and the rotating dumbbells, but I will keep this even simpler. This workout will utilize only the one barbell.


Warm-up: Stretching and light Indian Club Swinging

Standing Thick Bar Presses: 5 Sets of 5

Thick Bar Power Cleans: 10 Sets of 3

Back Squat (No need to use a thick bar on these, but squats are a necessity and you will need to give your grip a break.) 5 Sets of 3 - Go as heavy as you possibly can, even if you can only make it to a second rep and miss the third.

Thick Bar Hack Squats (This is going to fry your Forearms like you won't believe. Don't be surprised if you have to go fairly light.) 3 Sets of 10

Jog a mile. This is just to get your system flushed out and ready for your next workout. Stretch when you finish.

Your best results will be if you can do this workout early in the day or morning, sometime before you eat a large meal or stuff yourself with a massive amount of calories and protein and carbs. A workout like this is going to boost your natural testosterone output right through the roof and you will want the great natural building blocks of real food to take advantage of it.
