Barbelll club March 2026
Welcome to Barbell Club 2026
As we head into March 2026, Barbell Club, you have two new whole-body approach workouts on the board.
Why a whole-body approach instead of splitting the body into separate days (like “leg day” or “chest day”)? Whole-body training works all major muscle groups in each session.
That means each muscle gets stimulated multiple times per week — which is ideal for:
- Building or maintaining muscle
- Boosting metabolism
- Improving overall strength
Consistency with controlled intensity is key when it comes to body composition.
Each workout has slight variations and nuances. There are supersets combining upper- and lower-body movements, as well as push-and-pull combinations.
A Exercises
We have given you a choice here to select which A exercise you want to work on. The reps are low and the sets are high. This means you warm up well and start with a solid first working set at 80%+ of your 1RM.
B Exercises
These are still compound movements with slightly higher reps and fewer sets. As with your A exercises, warm up well and make sure you’re working within the prescribed percentages.
C Exercises
The reps go up again on these movements, but that doesn’t mean we back off on intensity — work them hard.
D Exercises
You’ve got some isolation work here. Keep yourself moving and feel the pump.
Some Golden Rules:
- Always prioritise form over weight.
- Warm-up sets are NOT working sets.
- Working sets have prescribed weight percentages on the bar.
- Stick to the tempo and use controlled movements.
- Feel and focus on the muscles you are using.
- Stick to the rest periods.
- Work hard and make friends.
- Trust the process.
No fluff.
No frills.
No circus tricks.
Just solid, focused training — done with intent and intensity.
Then… you do it again.
