Kettlebell Workout: Dan John's Armour Building Complex is perfect for busy people

This complex is by legendary strength coach Dan John. What I love about Dan John is he simplifies everything with strength training. He’s also got a knack for keeping things reasonable.

Here’s the kettlebell strength complex:

Grab a pair of heavy kettlebells and do this

2 cleans, 1 press, 3 front squats

Go for 10-20 minutes.

If you have a partner try performing it I go then you go fashion until the time is up. If you are by yourself you can try performing one complex every minute for the duration.

If your press starts failing, Dan says you can drop the press and keep going with 2 cleans, and 3 front squats.

Dan’s Armour Building Complex is simple and minimalistic. But don’t let that fool you. It will test your strength and grit.

Give it a try.

This workout has been so popular that Dan John has written a book about it, in which he extends the idea. It's called The Armor Building Formula: Bodybuilding for Real People eBook which you can find at Dan John University.
