Barbell Exercises and Variations

Hi all,

This video demonstrates how little equipment is needed in developing sound exercise programming and performing specific movements pertaining to your sport. A lack of equipment also encourages creativity and excitability throughout exercise selection.




These barbell exercises are seen within numerous sporting activities requiring explosively powerful movements as seen in cycling and BMX (pushing and pulling, rotation and stability), rugby league and rugby union (tackling and defending) and tennis (backhand where a large pulling and rotational force is required).

Alternatives include: Standing rotational pulls, high or low rotational movements, dragging loaded bar, dead lifts, squats, lunges, rows, presses, throws, dynamic loading patterns, unilateral and bilateral exercises.

In terms of alternative movements the options are endless, think about the movements required in your sporting environment and let us know of further variations.
