Functional
One Kettlebell Complex for the Weeks You're Short on Time
By Arjun Mehta

A complex is a chain of movements done back to back without putting the bell down. This one runs: 5 swings, 5 cleans, 5 front squats, 5 presses per side — rest, then repeat for five rounds.
It's a full-body session in under fifteen minutes: posterior chain from the swings, grip and core from the carries between moves, and pressing strength on top. No transitions, no wasted minutes.
It's built into our Functional Training program as the finisher on short days — the one we hand any member who tells us they only had fifteen minutes and nearly skipped the gym entirely.
