The ATP, a new toy I cannot do without.

I used Deadlifts on the ATP for the first block

For this workout, I decided to use the ATP. I love how the ATP takes off the load on my spine, and really engages my hips and lower body, I used deadlifts on the ATP for the first block. For the next block, I used the Safety Squat Bar.

On the Safety Squat Bar, the weight distribution is unique to this bar and taxes your anterior chain more than a standard squat. The weight distribution falls between the front squat and the high-bar back squat to vary your power output training. This bar is a safer option for intense squat progressions or maximum load lifts because of where the load is located during the lift. I can see how this bar could increase my maximum working weight better than the traditional back squat.

I also added in some good power on the 10cal sprints on the AirDyne, and used the activation from the deadlifts and squats to keep the time < 10sec per sprint.

If you are looking to add some lean muscle mass with heavier loads give this work out a try.
