NOTE: All workouts should be done after a proper warm-up.

BASIC STRENGTH WORKOUT: The PDBR
Again, this is a circuit style workout, complete one set of all described exercises then repeat two more times. Rest as little as you can between sets.

Plank For Time - 1 min
10 Deadlift
10 Bench - Bench Press or Dumbbell Bench Press
Row 500m - Go hard

Complete three rounds.

Notes: Plank For Time - hold body in plank position on toes and elbows (try for a full minute). Deadlift - if you cannot use the 45lb universal bar (or more), then use a dumbbell between your feet, grab with both hands. Row 500m - if your gym does not have a rowing machine use some other type of cardio device for 2 - 3 minutes (although they pale in comparison).
