Hey, it's Ben Greenfield. I am in Carmel, California attending a private, yes, a private masterminding

event down here, but I had a great workout. I'll tell you what it was. This is one I go to workouts.

I ran to the gym here, and if the audio sounds funny, by the way, I'm in my big cavernous

echoey hotel rather than my slick little home studio. I ran to the gym, and I did a weight training

complex. I have this habit now of when I'm at a conference or an event like this, and I know time

is tight. I use barbell complexes, or dumbbell complexes, or kettlebell complexes, whatever happens

to be available. And one of my favorite complexes is the following. I load up a barbell with a lot of

weight, and I pick up the weight like a deadlift, and then do a Romania deadlift, and then do a

bentro, a front clean, or I guess it's just a clean, to a front squat, to an overhead press,

to a back squat, to an overhead press. And I do all that without setting the bar down, and then I

just do as many repetitions as I possibly can. I recover with mobility work for about a minute or

two, like walking or crawl position type of mobility moves like bird dogs or or fire hydrant

exercises, Google those if you don't know what they are. And then I go back to the barbell,

and I do another complex. Again, as many as I can do until I put the bar down, usually if I've got

135 pounds in the bar, for example, I'll be able to do five or six reps. And I'll just do that three

times. Boom, done. That's it. Lift heavy stuff. If you have no option either lift heavy stuff,

or find whatever cardio machine you can that that moves as many body parts as possible, like the

rowing machine or the elliptical thing with the arms on it, and just go to town with very short

explosive intervals on that. Either barbell complexes or intervals are going to give you the most

bang for your buck. Especially when you're on the road, like I am a lot right now, speaking of which

that's why you're not getting a lot of listener Q&A on the podcast these days, but fear not.

We are returning to listener Q&A's with some cool little twists and surprises that I think you're
