Adam T Glass is back at the Extreme Human Performance Center the other day here in White Bear Lake MN to work on some kettlebell snatch techniques.

Why the Kettlebell Snatch?

1) Great Conditioning (”Cardio”)

Since you are doing a ton of work in a short period of time (just like in the Kettlebell Clean and Jerk) it really gets you breathing hard fast. Great way to improve CRF (cardiorespiratory fitness)

2) Efficient

If you have ever done a kettlebell snatch you know that you can’t do them for a very long period of time. Even at the Elite level, the max competition time is 5 to 10 minutes.

I trust you had a killer weekend!  Jodie and I attended a local conference on all day Saturday and relaxed at night with a movie (The Watchmen).     I also spent a ton of time cranking out research on the Monster Energy Drink study and some other crazy dissertation work.

Of course I got in some fun with kettlebells outside too and pulled a 10 lb PR on reverse band deadlifts.  Whoo ha.  Gotta love PRS!

Here is a kettlebell drill you may not have seen, so check it out!

Notes

• Don’t be dumb and let the KB (kettlebell) hit you in the melon and knock you out!  Do at your own risk and start with it just at your shoulder and get VERY comfortable with that move first.
• Do it outside so that if you drop the KB it does not bounce anywhere and hit you (notice a trend here, don’t get hit by the KB).

Let me know what you think by posting a comment below.  Comments rule!
