Place one end of a barbell in a corner, or use a gym’s landmine machine (it’ll look like a barbell attached to an anchor on the floor). Stand facing the end of the barbell and grasp it with your hands cupped, fingers interlocked (a). Keeping your chest lifted, bend at your hips and knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor (b). Press through your heels to return to standing (c). (That’s a squat.) Next, hinge forward at your hips to push your butt back as you lower your torso and the barbell toward the floor (d). Squeeze your glutes to return to start. (That’s a deadlift.) One rep is one squat and one deadlift.

Barbell Hip Thrust

Sit on the floor and rest your upper back against a bench. Place a barbell across your lap at your hips. Bend your knees and place your heels on the floor (a). Lift your butt off the floor so that your body forms a straight line from your head to your knees (b). Pause, then lower back to start; that’s one rep.

Stand in front of a bench with knees slightly bent, a kettlebell in your right hand. Place your left hand on the bench (a). Row the weight up until your right hand meets your hip (b). Lower the weight back down; that’s one rep. Perform all reps on one side, then switch sides.
