Bent-Arm Lever

With all of the work that I've been doing on the straight arm lever (the Front Planche) I have to say, the bent-arm lever is coming along really well!

3 Great Variations of the 2-Hand Anyhow Lift

A great Double Kettlebell Complex

Keeping in touch with the barbell complexes from the last few posts, here's a great Double Kettlebell complex that'll blow torch the fat, build muscle and get you into great shape. It's loosely based on an old Steve Maxwell Single Kettlebell complex. Have fun with it.

One more awesome barbell complex: with 1-arm barbell snatches!

Here's one more really nice barbell complex that includes one of my favorite old time barbell lifts, the 1-arm barbell snatch. This one's a blast. Give it a try.

Two more Barbell Complexes, the Bear and the Super Bear

Here are two more awesome barbell complexes that I learned from Powerlifting World Champion and all around bad ass, Jamie Lewis. He calls them the bear and the super bear. They are brutal.

For example one rep of the bear would consist of performing the following five times without stopping or putting the bar down: Power clean to Front Squat to Overhead Press to Back Squat to Behind the Neck Press to Front Squat. Repeat that five times for one round. Then perform 5 rounds like that.

Same thing for the super bear.

Have fun with these.

Some Awesome Barbell Complex Work

With barbell complexes becoming more and more popular, and for good reason, I thought I'd share one of my favorite one's with you. Complexes are great as they develop good Metabolic Conditioning, meaning they simultaneously build strength, power, speed, endurance, stamina, etc. They can also be used for specializing on your weak points.

This is a great Power Snatch focused complex. I hope you enjoy.

Yours in strength and health,
