Bruce Lee

My gym membership is ending this weekend. This will provide me with more inspiration to run for my marathon in June. My neighbors, thankfully, have a barbell and a bench. I'll probably be utilizing that quite a bit over the next three months. So, I've been working on finding a good barbell workout. A comrade reminded me of a Bruce Lee weight session he used to do. After doing it a few times, my shoulders feel great. It feels like the first time they've ever been functional or strong at all. The following is the workout:

Clean and Press
Barbell Curl
Behind-the-Neck Press
Upright Row
Barbell Squat
Barbell Row
Barbell Bench
Barbell Pullover

It's listed as 2 sets of 8-12 reps, which is what I've been doing lately. However, I intend on doing 3 sets of 8-12 reps, since I won't have access to heavier weights. Also, it should be noted that the amount of reps for the squat is 20.
