Complexes

I use complexes as part of warm ups, as part conditioning work or used as preparation before commencing a strength or power training block.

They involve several different exercises performed as part of a sequence, building on one to the next.

For example, using a barbell one could work from the ground up: deadlift, bent over row, hang lean, front squat, military press and then back squat.

Popularised by Javorek, they are not a catch all answer to everything, but they are time efficient and can get a lot of areas covered in a short time.
