Best Barbell Complex for Insane Fat Loss
Barbell complexes are great for increasing strength, size, and also for fat loss. “A complex is similar to a circuit where you move from one exercise to the next,” Jackson says. “The difference is that you actually never set the bar in this case down.”
This means that when you do a barbell complex, you are using the same weight for every exercise.

According to Jackson, barbell complexes are good for fat loss because they “get your heart rate up so high and you burn a ton of calories doing them, so they’re very metabolic.” You will also be building muscle, which is another way to burn extra calories and maintain lean mass.

| Exercise | Reps |
| Power Clean | 6 |
| Front Squat | 8 |
| Overhead Press | 6 |
| Back Squat | 10 |
| Bent-Over Row | 8 |
| Romanian Deadlift | 8 |
A good tip if you are creating your own barbell complex is to use a lower number of reps for exercises you are weaker at and a higher number of reps for movements you are stronger at. In Jackson’s case, he is doing only 6 reps for the overhead press but chose to increase to 10 reps on the back squat.
