I love barbell combos.

They are a little different from complexes in that you only use a couple of movements.

You still get a ton of volume as you do with complexes but combos are done with heavier weight, developing more strength and power.

Usually I will take 2-4 movements, perform 1 repetition of each, equaling one total rep.  I keep the reps to around 3-6 total.

They are pretty simple to put together but they are brutal and will pack on muscle and add crazy strength.

I started my training session of today with a simple yet brutally effective combo.
