Kettlebell Snatches and Turkish Get-ups

On Friday I continued to plug away toward my goal of completing 100 kettlebell snatches in 5 minutes with a 53# bell.  This time ’round I did seven snatches per side every minute for 8 minutes.  That’s 112 snatches in 8 minutes, and it felt pretty good.

I chased the snatches with some Turkish get-ups.  Here’s what it looked like:

Workout:

A) 8 minute countdown:

Kettlebell Snatches – 7 reps Left

Kettlebell Snatches – 7 reps Right

B) 7 minutes of Turkish get-ups, alternating left and right.

I was pretty tired on the TGU’s, but that’s fine. Variety is good, and I like following the ballistic exercise (snatches) with the grind (TGU’s), but reversing that works, too.
