Doesn’t have to be Thibs response, just looking for like-minded creative folks’ thoughts.
I am certain someone would, even if I could get it set up for a circuit, jump in and block or strip what I had going, even with a towel marker, a do not disturb sign, a pit bull guarding…
I could maybe get to a rack, and keep two bars and a set of dumbells.
2 dumbbell clean and press
Front squat
Row?
OR
Squat
Chin
Barbell press?
or
Snatch grip deadlift
Dip
Power clean
Press??
I go to the gym at 430 am, only 5 people in there…perfect opportunity to do circuit training
Clean and press, burpees
Deadlifts and pullups
Squat and press
Pullups, dips, squat
Set of Front Squats (clean 1st rep), then set of RDL with same bar / same weight. If you still have any fight left you could do Floor Press after the RDLs…same bar/same weight.
Dumbbell plus Adjustable Bench
1 Arm DB Incline Bench
Lunge or Bulgarian Split Squat
1 Arm Row
1 Leg RDL (rear foot elevated on bench if you want)
Suitcase Walk

1 foot Calf Raise, toes on plate in Smith Machine

I’ll bet with some imagination we could come up with weeks of ideas for all phases. Great work!
Keep the puke bucket nearby - this one could be brutal
The other nasty one I do from time to time is:
with 14” Cambered Squat Bar (CSB):
-CSB Squat
-CSB Push-Press
-CSB Zercher Deadlift
Short and brutal workout
50 rep deep squats…pick a weight you can do 20 reps with
after 20 reps, do not rack the weight, rest for 3 seconds, do as many reps as you can and continue until you get to 50
Lift fasted so you can go to RPE -Gnar!
Yeah barbell complexes are king but can be brutal
My 2cents:
Proper weights move
Deep/marine pushup
Abs move
ie Dumbell rows heavy +close to failure
immediately drop down to TRX Push up
again no rest, lower ab flutter kicks for time( say45 secs)
Add in a band move for a 4th exercise if really want to embrace the suck
These good by Thib also…
