Our trainer comes up with new things for us to do, and sometimes they even have names. For example, there’s “Fran”, and this is three rounds of Thrusters 21-15-9, then Pull-ups 21-15-9, and your score is in how fast you completed the three rounds.
Today, he had us do something that was very insidious. The movement is relatively simple, the Dumbbell Snatch. In this, we had 3 dumbbells in front of us, my load was 30 lbs, 40 lbs, and 50 lbs. We had to do 21-15-9 (on both arms), starting w/the lowest weight and working up. Then, starting w/the highest weight, you started at the lowest rep count, and worked you way back to where you originally started. The problem is, no name. What would you call this fun little exercise?
Warmup:
- Slow run of 1K
- 20 Squats w/20kg kettlebell
Workout:
- 40 American Swings @ 20 kg
- Tabatha Squats: 19 PB!!!
- The aforementioned DB Snatch exercise, which took about 17 minutes for me to complete.
- Rocket Launchers: 25
- 300 M run: 1:07 (I slipped taking a corner, and fell, so no PB
)
Oh and yes, I’m totally excited about making the PB in the Tabatha squats. 19 means that for each of 8 sets, with 20 seconds per set, I completed 19 bodyweight squats. I was literally flying! I wonder what it’s going to be like to get to 20, which would be 1 per second?
Yeah, I want your thoughts about the name - give me it to me baby!
