SAH Hypertrophy Snatch Workout
I'm excited to share today's snatch workout with you. This is the new program I'll be going into myself. I call it the SAH Hypertrophy (fancy name for muscle building) Plan. It's a "serial-circuit" protocol.
Meaning
... you'll be performing two exercises (snatch and push-up) in a "circuit".
Each exercise will be broken down into a "series".
What's a series?
A series is a group of sets paired together and a circuit is a group of exercises paired together, hence the name "serial-circuit".
Lets dive in...
Intermediate kettlebell'er:
Choose a bell you can snatch explosively 20-25 times each side. This will be roughly 30% of your bodyweight (round up or down).
But if you're a
Beginner kettlebell'er:
Here's the bells size I recommend.
Gentlemen: 16-20kg
Ladies: 8-12kg
You'll also need a stop watch.
Here's how this is gonna go down...
I made an amendment since the beta test and publish of the *video above*. We figured out how to trim the session down -- WITHOUT creating too much lactate but maintain the integrity of the plan intact.
Using your stop watch -- when the clock hits 0:00, snatch for 24 seconds (12 snatches) on your right.
Rest [actively] for the remainder of the minute plus 1 minute.
When the clock hits 02:00 snatch for 24 seconds with your left. After the set, the clock will show, 02:24.
Rest for the remainder of the minute plus 1 minute.
When the timer hits 04:00, finish the last set in the series: 24 seconds of snatching with your right. After the set, the timer will show 04:24.
Rest the remainder of the minute plus 1 minute.
This completes the snatch series.
At the 06:00 mark, start the push-ups series. Each set of push-ups will be 10 reps as explosive as possible (resting the remainder of the minute plus 1 minute).
You should complete your last set of push-ups by 10:10/15.
This completes one circuit.
You will complete a total of 3 circuits for this snatch workout.
Start the second circuit with your left hand on the snatch.
Warning!
I know more than 1 minute seems like a generous amount of time rest between sets but...
... do not compress your rest periods, for any reason.
Just add more power (i.e., more effort) to your snatches and push-ups.
The goal is to be as explosive as possible while staying as fresh as possible.
Let me know how it goes.

... I recommend picking up a copy of my e-course Snatch Blueprint.
Inside I show you how to build the endurance of a race horse in less than 2 hours a week so you can perform more drills and rounds of Jiu-Jitsu, re-claim your power & masculinity back as a man, husband, and father.
Just so I have this right. This workout last 90 min?
Dustin,
Correct, roughly 90 minutes for this session. Again, if you’re stressed for time, you can short the rest period if it’s a must.
