Favorite Fifteen: No. 12 – Heavy Snatches

This is one installment in a series of workouts that form the nucleus of my exercise regimen. Almost any workout that I do is some variation on a workout in this series. The list includes a blend of strength conditioning and metabolic resistance training utilizing intervals or strategic rests. They are in keeping with my personal fitness goals which may be different from yours, so modify or tweak or disregard them altogether. And as always feel free to leave a comment or question below!

The Workout

Five Minute Countdown:
5 kettlebell snatches – Left
5 kettlebell snatches – Right

How I Do It

This is one I love to hate. I use a 70# KB and keep a hand towel nearby because it’s going to get sweaty and the bell gets slippery. Yikes.

Explanation

This is a workout for a heavy kettlebell. You can’t do it for long if you have a heavy enough bell because it’s exhausting. There’s not a lot to say about this one. It’s rough and effective. Great for strength.
