Tuesday I took a first shot at training to get 100 snatches in five minutes with a 53#KB. Click here to see what I’m talking about. It involved 120 snatches in 10 minutes. Today I did 112 snatches in 8 minutes. Here was the workout:
Seven rounds, one round per minute:
8 KB snatches – Left
8 KB snatches – Right
I definitely felt a difference from Tuesday’s workout. It was getting harder to maintain good form about round six. Overall though, I was encouraged. I think in order to reap the various benefits of KB snatches, though, I need to be doing a lot more of them, or even workouts like today about 3 times per week by itself.
As a finisher today, I did…
Five-minute countdown: 20 swings with a 53# KB
Good workout, done in just under fifteen minutes.
