I got this complex from Glenn Pendlay, who prescribes it early in a training cycle to improve strength and promote hypertrophy. In the variation in the video I do:
1 Clean Deadlift
1 Hang Clean from below the knee
2 Front Squats
1 Jerk
Make the jerk really hard because your legs are extremely fatigued. Also, keep the bar in your hands a long time.
My 300-pound complex was my limit – exactly where you should aim to put your strength complexes. If you're a strong-ass mofo, this is the time to really get after it!
When many of us think of perfect physiques, we think of those belonging to Golden Age bodybuilders. These champions of the past were muscular, strong, healthy, and athletic. It's cliche but it's true: women wanted them; men wanted to be them.
