Ep. 483: The Badazz History of the Snatch

from The Hammer Cast

At the dawn of the modern weight training movement, one exercise quickly arose (pun intended) to prominence among the pioneers of the jolly ol' game of taming the iron:  The one-arm snatch. From barbells, dumbbells, and eventually kettlebells, it has found a place in the training of just about every serious trainee.  And if you're not currently training it seriously?  Well, this episode just might light that fire you need under your tush... On that note, if you like training that: · Gives you more strength than it takes from you · Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously · Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge. As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts – NOT instead of them. Even cooler: Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, and more. And best of all, it's free. How free? I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend. Get thee thine own copy here:  http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com  Have fun and happy training! Aleks Salkin
