Here are a few ideas of how you can add Hybrid Barbell Power Complexes
to your training schedule.
to your training schedule.
Option 1: Use the Complexes as a 3-4 Week Deload Program
Train 3-4 days per week with one day rest in between. Pick two
complexes for each workout. Complete all the rounds of complex A.
Take a 60-120 second break and perform all the rounds of complex B.
Add more rounds, complexes or shorten rest periods for your progression.
Your off days should include active recovery but no heavy strength training.
Option 2: Add 2-3 Barbell Complex Workouts to Your Current Program
This is a great choice if you're an athlete and you have practice for your
sport a few times a week. Or if you enjoy the training program you're
currently on but want to add in a few extra training days.
For example if you have practice Monday, Wednesday and Friday you
could add Barbell Complex workouts on Tuesday and Thursday using the
same parameters as explained in Option 1.
If you're on a strength training program where you perform max effort
Bench Press on Mondays, Deadlift on Thursdays and Squat on Saturdays
you could add Barbell Complexes on Tuesdays and Fridays or Wednesdays
and Sundays.
Another option is to perform max effort work for three weeks followed by
one week of Barbell Complexes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
After this deload week you could return to your next wave of max effort work.

Option 3: Use Them as Finishers!
Dump your steady state cardio. Or if you're not doing any cardio at all
right now here's your chance. Simply add a few rounds (or all if you can
handle it) from any Hybrid Barbell Power Complex to the end of all your
workouts for the week.
Finishers should take you less 10-minutes and will work your cardiovascular
system like nothing else. The after-burn effect is tremendous and it's a huge
time saver.
Again, whatever your current workout program looks like, keep doing it,
but add a few rounds of your favorite HBPC to the end of your workout.
