Just wondering if anyone could think of some complex lifts, such as those Alwyn Cosgrove talks about in the radio interview.
My input would be:
cleans then presses then bent over rows
snatches then overhead squats then presses
squats then snatch grip behind the neck presses then snatch grip high pulls
and the classic:
cleans, front squats, push presses.
Any ideas for ones performed on a bench maybe?
1.) Decline press - situp with bar - bring bar down - miltary press
2.) Chinup - kip - dip

i was thinking the same thing …
bench, clean, fs, row, DL, pass out
OHS, overhead press, clean, fs, row, back squat, pass out

Power clean, front squat, push press. How would you go from an overhead press to a row without messing up your shouler
Simple. Put the bar down. Pick the back up in correct position for rowing!! Viola!

Today I thought how about:
Dumbell snatch, dumbell push press, bent over row, then flip hands and do it again. Killer.
I like to make up a “circuit of death” with my kettlebell. This is done for fat loss in much the same way as AC described the complexes. The following is using a 62.5 lb. Kettlebell. I also add in some BW exercises too. Here’s an example:
20 Swings (10 R/L)
Push Ups 10-20
10 Cleans (per hand)
10 Military Presses (per hand)
10 KB Front Squats (per hand)
10 Close Grip Push Ups
5 Windmills (per hand)
10 Pull Ups
5 Ab Wheel “crunches”
10 Snatches (per hand)
Pass throughs 2 minutes
Rest a couple of minutes, and go again. I try to get at least 4 circuits. if I haven’t done these in a while, by the time I’m halfway through the second circuit I’m questioning my sanity. I’ve also done some other similar circuits with Barbells and Dumbells in the gym, same general idea, although not really a “complex”.
