John Graham, Senior Network Administrator in Network Development at St Luke’s University Health Network demonstrates two excellent exercises utilizing a hex barbell and body weight. Utilizing Free Weight & Body Weight Exercises can increase strength, power and endurance in important movement patterns and muscle groups utilized by athletes in their respective sport.
Utilization of Exercise Combos can train multiple muscle groups of the body in combinations that provide for increased workout intensity and volume to increase muscle strength, power, hypertrophy and endurance development for athletes.
The Hex Barbell Deadlift develops the muscles of the upper and lower back, abdominals, glutes and quadriceps and increases trunk stability. The Burpee develops total body power and agility and can be utilized as an excellent warm-up/conditioning exercise.
