Snatch night tonight began with some warm-ups that included dislocates, Samson stretches, 3 x 10 kettlebell swings, 3 x 10 Halos.

That was good enough to get a bead of sweat going and take me to a…

Snatch Pyramid, 10-20-30-20-10 with a 20 kg bell

Snatch, 3 x 20.

I finished with 20 half TGU’s.

This was a quick and moderate intensity workout which was exactly what I wanted it to be. I felt better and stronger with the snatches.

Friday Night ShuffleBy the time Friday rolls around, my energy, intensity and motivation are often times lacking. It must have been that way for a lot of people because there were very few people in the gym and it was pretty quiet. I wanted a good workout and I wanted it over...

A Little of This…A Little of That My main objective tonight was to do a lot of kettlebell snatches and I got to it...eventually. Everything that led up to it was definitely worthwhile, cardio and bodyweight in nature. At first, it just seemed like an extended warm-up, but it became a long, yet varied interval workout...
Carwash and KettlebellsOne of the great things about kettlebells is you can squeeze a workout in just about anywhere, but probably not in a phone booth. (Are there any more of those these days?) Late Sunday afternoon, I went to the local car wash and when I went to get some stuff...
Friday Nite LiteThis hasn't been one of my best training weeks, but it has been interesting training around a few injuries. In the day when I essentially did one thing, i.e. run, mountain bike or speedskate, if I got injured, I was on the shelf until I healed. With the wide varieties...
