Speaking of which, I saw this article posted in someone else’s training log this morning and reckoned I’d link it here. If you try this complex, go even lighter than you’d expect the first time. I noticed it has a neat structure of exercise placement, alternating between an explosive movement and a slower, controlled movement. Pretty smart!
Not gonna lie that looks intense. lol
I do like barbell complexs. Usually I do something like:
Rdl
Row
Hang clean
Front squat
Push press
Back squat
Yours looks like a good complex, too. And yep, that article’s complex does look intense.

10/4 141.2 rough day at work. Always is the beginning of the month. Too exhausted to lift today. Will get it in tomorrow.
Did manage 15k steps at work though so not bothering with cardio.
Tomorrow is deadlift day. Get to try to break my rep record at 185. Going for 15 reps at least.
Also trying hip thrusts at the same weights I deadlift and working on pull up volume. Gonna supper set them with ohp and hip thrusts for 11 sets total.

This week is hard…
You do amrap on main lift and amrap on FSL weight.
It’s draining for the cns.
Good news is it’s only 1 more week for this cycle. Then I can choose to deload it I think I need it
