Workout Of The Week: Team Quest Grappling Circuit
A bout 10 years ago, Randy Couture filmed a video where he was doing a barbell complex workout to prepare for Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 74. I took his routine and changed it a little bit to fit how I like to train my clients. My version of the complex has 7 exercises done consecutively with the barbell for 8 to 10 reps each. After the 7 exercises are done you will drop down right into 15 hand release pushups, then into 15 straight leg situps, and then finally right into a 400 meter sprint. Take a 1 minute rest and repeat. This complex is very grueling and exhausting if done right. It is short and sweet but, packs a powerful punch.
Here is the Team Quest Grappling Circuit:
- Bent-Over Row 8-10 reps
-
Upright Row 8-10 reps
-
Clean 8-10 reps
-
Military Press 8-10 reps
-
Behind The Back Squat 8-10 reps

Stiff Leg Deadlift 8-10 reps
-
Hand Release Pushups 15 reps

Good luck and Have fun!
