Interesting DB complex. I like KB complexes but I don't rush through them. For me, they are easier to remember. , I would forget that DB complex if I was training alone. Gruntbrain's cleans and presses idea is something I enjoy with KB's.

I also seem to forget that their is the aerobic component in isometric work. Takes me back to grappling, there is loads of isometrics involved from various positions and its so draining. Working with a grappling dummy with maximum isometric pressure in different positions for 10-30 seconds before transitioning explosively to another we wear you out in a flash. Getting ready to do 30 minute of heavy hands/ankles followed by 50 Iron Wolf Burpees. If I've got any extra I'm going to work the grappling bag and the heavy bag. Iron Wolf has quite a YouTube following.

A guaranteed way to kick someone’s ass is padding out in surf. It’s hard to find any activity that has a good carry over. My ex used to be a pro swimmer and still swam to an elite standard but was always saying to me how tiring it was paddling out in surf on a board. Whereas I’d find it easy in the same conditions as I’m used to it. Have you checked into the battle rope/chain thread? Although it's been a long time since I've experienced the feeling, but I'd say that my chain pumping feels like an amped up version of paddling a board, except I'm not on my knees or belly, I'm in various standing to squat positions. What do you think about it?

I agree with what gruntbrain said.
In my experience, using a sandbag(small rounded rocks instead of sand) nearing my own bodyweight: 1) shouldering it for as much reps in 20 minutes 2) jump squating with it on my shoulders for sets
Just getting it to shoulders before the first set of squats turns you on, haha... The last sets of both exercises = trembling when you look at the bag

Seems like he called it the Ultimate He Man program or something like that.

I think for best cardiovascular training, unless you're training for a specific event, a continuous circuit-training style approach is necessary to make sure lactic acid build up, rather than cardiovascular fatigue, isn't the limiting factor. Take jump squats for example. I might be huffing and puffing hard but I guarantee you lactic acid build up is going to make me throw in the towel rather than cardiovascular conditioning. So by having a superset of multiple exercises in a circuit, I'm able to get rotational relief from each exercise while continuing to work my cardiovascular system. When I put together a circuit, each exercise doesn't have some same level of intensity and I seldom put together a combo where each exercise kicks my ass. If I do, it'll be a short workout. If I want some duration, I've got to have some easier exercises in my combo in sort of an active recovery period.
If, for example, I was going to do a combo of burpees and slam ball overhead slams, both done ass-kicking style, that would be a very short workout for me.
