More kettlebell fun
I want to switch Saturdays workout from heavy 2 hand swings to a snatch day, and because I did a snatch workout on Monday, heavy 2 hands on Wed., skipped clean/ presses on Thurs., I wanted to combine light snatches and clean/presses together and have a little fun.
The main work set in this workout (video) has basically 2 snatches, and 2 clean/presses, before starting the combo over again in the same order. The first snatch is done with the traditional down swing, the second with a neg. press, the first clean/press with a traditional neg press and the second with a down swing coming back up into a snatch and starting over.
5 of these combinations are done all on the same side (L) for 1 min., with 30 sec. rest before starting the combination on the other side (R) for 1 min.. The 2 sets rotated inbetween are 1 hand swings, 40 reps all done on the same side (L) for 1 min. with 30 sec. rest before switching to 40 reps all done on the other side (R).

Wow Tracy,
ReplyDeletehow do you keep track of the order of moves? Do you have a "script" on the wall?
When I get an idea for a particular combination, I can see the pattern in my head. I then write it down in my own kind of short hand and verbaly recite it out loud as I go along. The same way I do in the video.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same when I train a client, I explain and write down the combo and then give them the verbal cues as we go along.
