Snatches!
No, it's not what you think. The snatch is an Olympic lift, in which the weight goes from ground to overhead in one movement. An extremely technical lift, it doesn't allow for near the amount of weight that could be used in either of its constituent lifts--the deadlift and the overhead squat. In other words, even though I can deadlift over 300lbs and overhead squat 155lbs, I can only snatch 125, my new PR as of shooting this video.
The workout is:
Snatch 1 rep every minute for 15 minutes.
I don't have every rep included in the video. Most are there though, with a few entertaining "misses" sprinkled in as well. Enjoy.
