Combinations
As the name implies, strength training combinations involve multiple strength training movements blended together in a seamless fashion to make one exercise. This chapter covers a multitude of strength training combinations involving barbells, dumbbells, cables, and the core bar.
Complex
A complex is a full-body circuit where all of the stations involve one piece of equipment, which is helpful in a crowded gym with lots of people all trying to use the same equipment. You can string together any number of exercises to form a complex. The more exercises used, the more intense the complex becomes due to the increased volume.
The weight load used to perform these complexes is lighter than the load used in the circuits and combinations, because complexes are performed at a faster pace and a higher volume than circuits and combinations.
