A good friend and colleague, Geoff Neupert, constantly chuckle over the fascination people have with complexes. Really they are nothing new, Olympic weightlifters have used them forever to develop a base of fitness and also to groove technique. Many athletes have used them to develop strength-endurance, dynamic flexibility, and what the Eastern Europeans would call "suppleness". In fact, Istvan Javorek, was one of the first Eastern European coaches to make complexes popular here in the states. Coach Javorek published a series of programs based off of dumbbell complexes for his various athletes.
In retrospect, not much is new. Sometimes we all forget about a method or technique because there are so many good ones. That is why I revisited complexes in "Knockout!", you don't have to be a combative athlete to gain benefits from sandbag training. Check out this wonderful complex from North Point Personal Training in Georgia. You will see our bags in action!

Josh- Your bags are by far the best I've ever used. We only own one (for now) and we use it all day every day with our clients. I'll check out your new DVD soon.
