DB Snatches are brilliant - just gotta be wary of form when doing so and respect the weight - love them

Unfortunately our DBs only go up to 50kg so it's a question of reps. However they're great for explosive work, conditioning, and coordination.
Soldato
ONLY 50KGBut yeah, they are brilliant for getting the heart rate up and providing explosive power from the hits - coordination helps you not hit yourself on the head!
Combine them with burpees for ultimate conditioning
Yeah hitting yourself on a head even with a 2.5kg dumbbell isn't great

It's excellent.
I also do DB snatches which are hard but well worth doing too.
I just had a look at DB snatches and....I'd totally injure myself
Maybe I'll try it sometime once I buy a big helmet with a chin guard...
Soldato
Why would yiu want to do burpees?
Ultimate conditioning for me is 1RM capability...
Mainly because they leave me in a puddle of sweat breathing out my arse
I do need to get in for some 1RM work soon though - expecting big improvements on Snatch and C+J based on technique development over the last few months
Before, 120kg.
After(or still a work in progress
Amazing progress, how long did it take you

Posted this in the Ocuk private group, but this was my condition after Christmas.
The extra calories over the period worked out well for me in terms of getting leaner and more vascular. I am holding decent condition coming into 2015
Will start to introduce cardio in the next few weeks, and should be ready for shoots in April.
