**Before you say ‘more push presses??’, let me just say that I warned you in the newsletter last Sunday that we’d start off the month with some high rep pressing – bench and push press. Reps will decrease *slightly* for both over the next two weeks, but you will get a little reprieve during the workouts.
Now, looking at today’s workout. We’ll be using one dumbbell for the snatches and squats. The movement standards will vary *slightly* (I feel like I’m already overusing this word..) than what’s in the video, but your coaches will cover that in class. The last time we did DB overhead squats was back on July 22nd. Conveniently that was my Monday off for the month, so I didn’t get to hear the moaning and groaning about how hard it was until the next day. Well, y’all will see me in the morning and can air your grievances immediately.
NOW.. I will say this about the movement.. TRY IT.
As you can see, this workout last 12 minutes long, and the reps increase by 2 for each movement each round. 2-2-2; 4-4-4.. okay technically it’s 2-4-2; 4-8-4; 6-12-6..
So you can complain about the number of snatches or the DB OHS. *shrugging person emoji* But give it a shot. Sure, this is likely a DB snatch workout, but if you’re struggling with the OHS, scale it to a goblet squat. I don’t want you to only complete 6 rounds because you struggled to do one movement. Scale your weakness(es) so you can work continuously for 12 minutes. Deal? Deal! Okay.. email is open for complaints.
