It's all jerks and snatches

...or so the saying goes. Tonight was a family affair. We had brothers, husbands and wives, students and teachers. Huge turnout--around 10 people. So we warmed up with some ohsquats, pushups and knees to elbows.

The workout was inspired by Coach RutMan a/k/a the King of Dumbbells. Perfect for a large group of go-getters.

For time do
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 reps with each hand of the following:
one-hand hang clean & jerk
one-hand overhead squat
one-hand hang snatch

Wow! Talk about pain...er, I mean fun! Some people went with light weights, some people did all the lifts from the floor. Some people made up new moves. Overall it was a badass workout.

Times ranged from 18:53 to 33:44


I used a 30lb DB and finished in 20:19. I was too overwhelmed to write down who did what weight and what time. Please post your load and time to the comments.

Here are the times to choose from:
18:53
18:54
20:19
21:05
22:12
22:16
23:47
26:16
27:21
29:10
33:44

There might be an extra time in there because I might have accidentally hit the button when I thought someone was done or I got a late hit...don't remember, I was wiped out.

On another note...Sunday will be a park workout provided it doesn't rain. :) 10am, same place. I am planning a "fun" workout. :)

I vote that Keith is the King of the Jerk or Snatch, take your pick...Anyways, I'm not sure what my time was but I finished right after Josh and was rocking the 35#s. Leslie was at 29:10 at 20#s, but her form was much better ;).

30 lb db finished in 18:54, a few seconds behind the leader. Could gone heavier and/or faster. Squats were full range, other moves were more power versions.

I think Justin and I came in just below the 22-minute mark, having been totally owned by our 35# 'bells. Note to self: nobody is impressed by your doing more weight than necessary, and you certainly feel it the next day, if not by late that same night.
