Lamy, yes it will def increase strength. These complexes are very useful for building power, plus conditioning your muscles for constant work… and don’t forget about the grip killing it does. It also goes without saying that form is more important that putting up the big weight. Normally when I do my complexes i’ll rock out with 115lbs and on my alternate days ill put the 45s on the sides and just do one set then work my way into my other workout as a warm up. Its been getting a lot easier to do the 45s…

@Laura My kettlebell training is only 3 days a week. Variety is good right?

@Steve Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a brutal workout that will get your metabolism going crazy for hours.

Thanks for commenting guys!

I do barbell complexes several times a week including as a warm up strength stuff.

As a heavyweight I can attest to how well these work as fat burners. When I want to up my metabolism I bang out 3-5 sets with a pyramid of weights first thing in the morning and I’m buzzing all day.

I think it really depends on what your kettlebell training looks like. If your program calls for you to be training with kettlebells 5 days a week, yeah, I think doing complexes in addition would be overkill. But if you were on a program like Enter The Kettlebell! where you’ve got 3 prescribed kettlebell workouts per week plus two “variety days,” I see no reason why you couldn’t do a barbell complex on one of your variety days just to mix things up a little. A lot of it depends on how your body responds to this type of workout and how much recovery time you need between workouts.
