The Westside kettlebell snatch workout
You will push up your kettlebell snatch numbers in three weeks with the
straightforward workout the Westside Barbell Club does for their high
rep dumbbell bench presses.
Do three all out sets of kettlebell snatches. As many reps as you can
with one arm, one hand switch, and as many as you can do with the
other. The standard snatch test as seen in The Russian Kettlebell
Challenge. Rest for five minutes between the sets. Don’t rest
passively, keep moving to help your heart.
Keep a record of how may reps you maxed out with on your first set and
how many total reps you have managed between three sets. You should PR
in weeks two and three.
After three weeks switch to a different routine, ideally one that keeps
your snatch intensity in the 70-80% range. Revisit the above workout
every few months and change the size of the kettlebell every time.
Russian kettlebell power to you!
