What to pair with my dead lifts?

jadedone

Hi everyone --

Does anybody have an idea of what to add to my circuit?
I have been doing a combo of 3-4 exercises in a circuit along the lines of 25-15-10 reps.

I need something else, maybe full body or upper body to fit in with a dead lift overhead press combo (in one move), woodchuck (standing ab exercise), and XXX?

Other combos have been:
squats, deltoid raises, bent over row, bicep curls
lunges, overhead press, woodchucks.

What would be a good addition to the dead lift/overhead press combo?

Does anyone else do free weight circuits?

Plain ol push ups..or some variant thereof?

I'd do something for the triceps....

I usually do a row of some sort, bent over, see-saw or one other I cant remember right now .

some options (none of which involved free weights):

decline push-ups from a stability ball

ape step

burpees with push-up option....and you probably some sort of weighted medicine ball or UGI ball.

Burpees totally kick my butt! They are so hard, but that is a good idea. I can try and fit in some of those.

Ape step? I just googled that! Yikes, that reminds me of gym class in middle school! I think I'll add that when I feel a little stronger.

I'd do something for the triceps....

Good plan, anyone know a good full body combo with triceps? I'll be in the gym, so I am fine finding some weights, barbell or dumbbell. My gym doesn't have kettebells and medicine balls can be in short supply.

Grabbed it from this video. I have seen a few other names, but I completely forgot at the moment: http://www.fitsugar.com/Minka-Kelly-Workout-Routine-Gunnar-Peterson-19089151

I'd probably do a deadlift, bicep curl, shoulder press.

I do super-sets too!

recline row! It just came to me...

Barbell overhead squat or barbell front squat.

Burpees with a tricep pushup (elbows parallel to ribcage)

Do it with pull ups and weighted jump squats. You'll be sucking air..................
