EOTW!

It's that time of the week again! And even though I gave 3 away yesterday there is still more up my sleeve.
I am adamant that the ads are wrong, you can't get bored at the gym doing the same old exercises. Because there are so many adaptations styles and different things you can do!

Dumbbell snatch! Oh yeah! When I finish a set of these I'm close to spewing. The explosive motion makes it one to really test yourself on and push to the limits.
1. Grab a dumbbell or kettlebell (or weight) and take a squat position with the dumbbell placed in the middle in front of you.
2. With a burst of energy push up with your legs and continue the upward motion through your arm and power the dumbbell into the airspace above your head.
3. Allow your arm to slowly lower the weight through an arm first to a right angle. The slowly allow the weight to come back down through the middle again as you reload your squat position.
4. Once the weight hits the floor, immediately re explode from step 1 onwards for the desired reps.
5. Repeat for the other side of your body.

Bam o! Shoulder, leg, back and core work out in one.
