Overview
If you're looking for maximum results in minimal time, weightlifting is your best option. Strength training improves your athletic performance, increases strength and bone-mineral density, accelerates fat loss and builds muscle. The problem is that if you do the same workout with the same sets, reps and exercises for an extended period of time, you'll stop seeing results. Why? Your body has adapted to that routine at that weight and needs an extra challenge to shake it from its plateau. If your training has stagnated, you need to change up your routine to jump-start your continued results. The following is an intense workout that will "hurt so good," by bringing some (hopefully) unfamiliar (or at least underutilized) exercises together for a total-body workout that will restart your progress in the gym. Do all of the exercises in order. For the A/B exercises listed, perform these as a superset, meaning one exercise right after the other. Rest in between different supersets.
