Barbell Complex Cleans-Front Squat-Push Press

Perform 5 rounds, each with 3 sets  of the following, increasing weight each round.  As with the Bear Complex, rest as needed between rounds.

  • 3 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Push Press

The above is one set, so 3 sets is a total of 9 reps of each exercise.  The max weight is the last round that can be performed unbroken.

Result:  30-35-40-45-50kg  Last unbroken round was at 45kg.  In the last round, the clean and FS were OK, but couldn’t manage the push press without breaking.  Still I was happy I could do a 50kg front squat with what felt like good form and since my wrists weren’t trashed at the end I must have been doing something right.
