Full Body Barbell Workout Plan

By now, we all know that strength training is the key to not only looking and feeling our best, but also long term fat loss. Building muscle helps boost the metabolism, unlike cardio, which actually slows it down by causing our metabolisms to adapt and become more efficient. Strength training also allows us to eat more food, since muscle takes more energy to support, and who doesn’t want to eat more?! Here’s a sample full body workout plan done entirely with a barbell, for the next time you want to try something new in the gym! Remember to warm up appropriately and use a weight that lands you two reps shy of failure so you can progressively overload properly.

***Always make sure to check with your doctor before starting any new workout or nutrition plan to ensure it’s safe for you and your individual needs/conditions!***
