Dumbbell Snatches and a Torn Callus

August 6, 2008 · Filed Under work out of the day · Comment 

Today’s workout consisted of something brand new for us here at CrossFit Metro – One arm, dumbbell snatches, and before you think that it sounds easy – just wait until you give it a try.

Christian says:

“I dropped the weight on the set of left arm snatches, so I scaled to 35lb dumbbells to get a better movement and more control. Still taxed me like crazy.”

“Pull-ups as RX’d and while I still officially suck at pull-ups, I am getting a stronger kip and first set of 10, followed by 4-6 follow-up sets.”

“Not great – but improvement.”

“Tough workout – but I loved it!”
