Start very, very light. They will kick your arse first time you try them.

^Yeah it's true. First time I did Evil 8 I did with 30kg and found it was pretty easy, so next time I did it I tried it with 40kg and I couldn't even get past the 2nd round!

Amen to that ;) I started doing the Couture MMA one with just the bar, amazing how hard it is by then of the fifth set.... Going to have to give the Evil 8 a crack soon.

Thanks for the link, I'm well into complexes atm and do the following twice per week.
Barbell Complex - Deadlift, Bent Row, Hang Clean, Push Press, Back Squat - 4 sets of 10, 90 seconds rest between sets.
Dumbell Complex - Front Squat, DB Swing, Curl to Press, Jump squats - 4 sets of 10, 90 seconds rest between sets.
I tried to add a third type of complex but was so exhausted I couldnt even do it.

As per title, anyone have any reccomendations for 'conditioning' barbell complexes?
I have done several iterations of the Randy Couture MMA matrix - http://buildingbodies.ca/randy-couture-workout-for-mma-conditioning/
And I'm aware of (but never tried) the Cosgrove Evil 8
If you've never tried one of these, give it a go, it's very hard work if you get the right weight selected...
like the look of the cosgrove evil m8 give that a go hate pounding that treadmill
