As I write this the movie the expendables is about to hit our cinemas. This is the ultimate action movie with an amazing cast of action heroes past and current all making an appearance. As you can imagine all the stars have got in tremendous shape for the film and I'm sure all of them are going to be an inspiration for men and women of all ages to hit the gym even harder or actually start doing some exercise.

What is important here is the intensity of each workout with a lot interval training mixed up with heavy resistance training done in circuit type fashion. This type of workout routines not only to build muscle but torch body fat as well.



Monday - short circuit

1) 10-minute on the rowing machines

2) 40kg rope pull (rope attached to a weighted sled) followed by a 20m bear crawl - Complete as many rounds of this as you can in 10 minutes. If you don't have a proper rope do 20 weighted bent over pulls using a tricep rope changing hand position after 10 reps and then 10 Burpees

3) Back to the rower for another 10-minutes

Tuesday - Pushing Supersets

1) Five-minutes on the rower to warm up

4) Superset one 10m rope climb (no feet), 10 barbell shrugs and 10 ex-bar curls -4 sets of 10 reps with 90 second rest breaks between set. If you don't have a rope handy then I would inverted body rows with a straight body and underhand grip.

80 metre kettlebell farmer's walk, followed by a 80m one-arm kettlebell overhead carry (switch arms at 40m), 80m tire drag (SUV or small truck).

These are not for everybody and you need a huge amount of focus and motivation to go to the gym and work at this sort of intensity. I would use these type of workouts when you need to get in peak condition for an event, holiday or something similar. Having a definite goal and deadline is probably the best way to ensure you are motivated enough to do the work and hit your target.
