I chose the name Golden Eagle for this workout as the Golden Eagle is a swift-flying, majestic bird, and so is this workout. You’ll need a barbell and one kettlebell for this workout.
The workout targets:
- biceps (several angles)
- quadriceps
- gluteus
- deltoids
- abdominals
Assisting:
- latissimus dorsi to pull the shoulder down into it’s socket
- triceps to lockout the elbow
- teres minor, to help hold the humeral head in the glenoid cavity of the scapula
- trapezius (inferior region), to depress the scapulae
- rhomboids, to push the chest out
The exercises are:
- 3 wide grip barbell bicep curls
- 3 neutral grip barbell bicep curls
- 3 close grip barbell bicep curls
- 5 sets of kettlebell combo on the left
- dead swing clean
- strict press
- overhead squat
- overhead reverse lunge
- 5 sets of kettlebell combo on the right
- dead swing clean
- strict press
- overhead squat
- overhead reverse lunge
Repeat for 8 rounds or adjust accordingly.
For the warm-up and as part of the workout we did:
- 100 jumping jacks
- 30 surrenders
- 50 chest push-ups
Benefits of the workout:
- working a muscle group normally not targeted much in kb training, the biceps
- flexibility
- mobility
- range of motion

- quad strength
This is not a fast workout, it is to be performed with control and slowly to take advantage of what this workout can offer you.
