I realized I had not addressed that in this post. Barbell complexes can be incorporated into any strength training session. I would do it at the beginning of the session prior to any circuit or interval work. Just like most strength training, a day of rest in between would be ideal to allow for muscle growth and repair. Also, they could be incorporated into an existing workout routine even once a week to shake the body/routine up.Kelley Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109340030163155039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590492772756118469.post-57421463069471409302009-01-24T12:14:00.000-06:002009-01-24T12:14:00.000-06:00Fred, thanks for the comment!

I've been doing 5 exercises, 8 reps each x 4 sets, so 40 reps before you put the bar down is tough! Visited your blog also, great post on Tabata intervals. kKelley Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109340030163155039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590492772756118469.post-34996855108945351132009-01-24T11:08:00.000-06:002009-01-24T11:08:00.000-06:00Hello Kelly,Found your blog on Smoketheblowfish; I...Hello Kelly,<BR/><BR/>Found your blog on Smoketheblowfish; I have a few of Alwyn Cosgrove's DVD's (bodyweight training and BB Complexes) and complexes are amazing for getting you 'fried'. I found I had to go with much lighter weights (65lb BB) than I usually would use. But I agree with you, they're like doing intervals. I don't do them very often...probably should start making them more of a habit just to shake things up.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great post...I'll be checking out your earlier ones as well.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog!<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>FredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
