No matter what your goals arestrength, mass, conditioning, or cutskettlebell complexes deliver.
This is why they are so frequently featured in training plans by our best program designers like
Master SFGs Geoff Neupert and Dan John.
I built the following complex to give you a-ha moments in total body linkage and tension. And build
some serious muscle mass in the process.
You will be doing four exercises with a pair of kettlebells back to back:
Clean + Press + Squat + Renegade Row
The first three drills are standard in the SFG I curriculum. Here is how to do the fourth.
Assume the top of the pushup position on top of a pair of large kettlebells, at least 70-pounders (Get
rid of the plastic or rubber bases, if your kettlebells have them). Tense your whole body. Press
down hard into the kettlebell with your left. At the same time row with your right. Strict and slow. Do
not allow your body to sag, twist, or pike. You have only one rep per set to do; do it right!
If you are unable to row a 32kg bell, work one arm at a time. Rest one arm on a heavy bell or some
stationary object and row the lighter one. Yes, this will slow down the complex, but it is a small price
to pay for not making a face plant or breaking your wrist after losing balance on a small base of
support.
Here is the plan. On Monday grab a pair of kettlebells you can strictly press 6-8 times after one
clean, and pyramid the press while keeping the reps in the rest of the drills at one. Starting with a
single, add a rep to your press every set until you can no longer go up without compromizing form.
Then work back down to one. Your sets might look like this:
1 clean + 1 press + 1 squat + 1 renegade row per arm
1 clean + 2 presses + 1 squat + 1 renegade row per arm
1 clean + 3 presses + 1 squat + 1 renegade row per arm

Then comes the third and final phase. You might end up doing:

This is it. Six weeks from now there be noticeably more meat on your bones and you will possess a
much deeper understanding of linkage and tension. Unload with a week of fun, easy training, and
you are ready for a pure strength program such as (1, 2, 3) ladders and new PRs.
