Performance (Leg focused):

Tip: Unbroken Complex

The unbroken complex in the conditioning is a unique challenge that often leads to a surprise of an individual’s fitness level. When you are in the middle of the heavy breathing conditioning piece, it is easy to take breaks and put down the weight as you get increasingly tired. The unbroken complex challenges your fatigue to remind you of how strong and endurant you are. Hold onto the DB or KB for the entire complex and find a new edge within your conditioning capabilities.
