12-minute Workout: Cleans, Kettlebell Snatches and Pull-ups

Yesterday’s workout was a challenge because I was running low on energy.  I hadn’t eaten a whole lot and was trying to do a strength workout.  It’s not the best combination, from my experience.  Regardless, it was good, and I was glad to finish it.

Workout:

Four rounds:

135# Clean – 7 reps

Kettlebell Snatch – 7 reps left

Kettlebell Snatch – 7 reps right

Pull-up – 7 reps

Each round, including its rest, took about three minutes.  If you want a simple way to radically alter a workout, just adjust the rest.  Rest less for a quicker fatigue or for greater cardiovascular conditioning benefit.  Rest more for greater freshness or for explosive strength.  It’s always nice to have options.
