Doing a full-body exercise , such as the Squat-Press UP using Troy Barbells means working harder, but also getting better results, in less time. You probably already know that all exercises are not created equal and some are more effective than others. This is a great example of a full-body exercise that can be done with dumbbells, a Troy Barbell or even kettlebells, (my personal choice, the Barbell).
Here is how you do it: Start in a standing position with the weight on your shoulders than squat down until your thighs become parallel to the floor, keeping your back straight and your chest up. Come up from the squat position and push the weights up off your shoulders, finish the movement with your arms fully extended overhead, then bring the weights back down to your shoulders as you’re going back down into the squat and repeat (this is considered 1 movement, so don’t pause between the squat and the press). Repeating this exercise as a speed/interval set will skyrocket your heart rate and boost your metabolic conditioning (metabolism).
