HOW TO DO A GERMAN BODY COMPOSITION (GBC) WORKOUT

  1. Complete Exercise A1

    Perform the required number of repetitions using good technique.

  2. Move Straight to Exercise A2 (without resting)

    After finishing A1, move directly to A2 and complete the required repetitions.

  3. Rest Briefly

    Once both exercises are complete, rest for 30-60 seconds.

  4. Repeat Until All Sets Are Complete

    Continue alternating between A1 and A2 until you have completed all prescribed sets.

  1. Move to the Next Superset

    Once all sets of A1 and A2 are complete, move on to B1 and B2 using the same format.

  2. Finish with the Conditioning Exercise

    At the end of the workout, complete the prescribed carries, sled pushes, or sled drags.

The Goal

Move with purpose, maintain good technique, and keep rest periods short enough to keep your heart rate elevated while still allowing quality movement.

Pro Tip:

You should finish each workout feeling worked, energised, and accomplished—not exhausted. Consistency beats intensity every time.
