A Different Kind of Tabata

I got my weekly "Minute of Strength" yesterday where Anthony DeLuglio reviewed some cool Tabata type routines. I warmed up today with his snatch Tabata. 4 minutes of 12kg snatches. Here's the breakdown: 20 seconds of snatches on the right. On the last one, hold it overhead in a perfect lockout for 10 seconds...this is your rest folks! Next, snatch for 20 seconds on the left, with a 10 seond rest in a perfect overhead lockout. And so it goes for 4 minutes total. I thought it was a great warm-up which lead me into DOUBLES, DOUBLES and more DOUBLES! Double cleans, double clean and presses, double squats, double squat to overhead press. It's amazing how effective doubles can be especially if you don't do them frequently. My butt was thoroughly kicked!

About Me

My photo
I am a 41 year old mother of four who is AFTA and Art of Strength (AOS) certified in kettlebell training. I began using Kettlebells in 2004, a year following the birth of my triplets. Once I picked up a "bell" I never looked back. I trained with Anthony Dilugio of Punch Gym in Providence, RI and attended his Art of Strength Essentials Course in the summer of 2007. This past April, I took my Kettlebell experience to a new level and attended a three day "Russian Kettlebell Challenge" in Minneapolis, MN. I met and trained with Pavel Tsatsouline and his army of Master and Senior RKCs. I achieved milestones such as 54 snatches with a 16kg bell and various gruelling workouts put together by the likes of Brad Nelson, Andrea DuKane and Doug Nepodal to name a few. I currently train clients at Gold's Gym in Ashland, MA. My goal is to get people to realize the power of Kettlebells and to change the way they look at "working out" forever.
