Death by Complex

Teaches the hip drive needed for power. Gets the KB to the rack for presses and squats.

1. 1.Hike the KB back like a swing
2. 2.Snap hips, pull the elbow into your ribs
3. 3.Spear your hand through the handle as it rotates
4. 4.Catch in the rack - KB on the forearm, no banging
5. 5.Lower by guiding it back into the swing path

Squat + press in one move. Fastest way to spike heart rate while building total body strength.

1. 1.Start in the rack
2. 2.Drop into a full goblet/front squat
3. 3.Drive up explosively - use the leg drive to launch the press
4. 4.Lock out overhead at the top of the stand
5. 5.Lower back to the rack and into the next squat

Builds a strong upper back, fixes posture, and balances out all the pressing.

1. 1.Hinge over with a flat back, free hand on a bench or thigh
2. 2.Let the KB hang, shoulder long
3. 3.Pull the elbow back along your ribs
4. 4.Squeeze the shoulder blade - don't shrug
5. 5.Lower with control, full stretch each rep

The KB swing is power, conditioning, and posterior chain in one. Builds an engine like nothing else.

1. 1.Hike the KB back between your legs like a football snap
2. 2.Snap your hips forward - the KB floats up on momentum
3. 3.Arms are ropes, not cranes - never lift with the shoulders
4. 4.Glutes and abs hard at the top, KB to chest height
5. 5.Let it fall, hinge, repeat
