TRAINING
HEX BAR WORKOUT
EXPERT: David Otey, C.S.C.S.
“Use this combination of the hex bar and body weight to work the body through pushes, pulls, and carries for a full-body attack,” Otey says.
HEX BAR PUSHUP
Load a hex bar with a plate on both sides and get into a pushup position with your hands on the handles. Perform a standard pushup, keeping your back straight and head in line with your spine.
INCLINE DB PRESS
Lie back on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand and drive them up to chest height. Brace your core and press both weights up until they’re over your chest and your elbows are locked out. Lower them back down slowly.
KETTLEBELL SWING
Stand in front of a kettlebell set about a foot in front of you. Push your hips back and grab it with both hands. Hike the bell back between your legs and then drive your hips forward, squeezing your glutes, to drive the bell up to chest height.
TRAINING
MODIFIED ESCALATING
DENSITY TRAINING
EXPERT: Matt Pudvah, C.S.C.S., head strength coach for the Sports Performance Institute at MAC
“This workout is based off a method known as Escalating Density Training,” says Pudvah. Set a timer for 20 minutes and complete 8 reps of each move, back-to-back, until time runs out. Aim for 40 reps each move.
