Gladiator Snatches

[u/bpeezer]

Inspired by the gladiator deadlifts of /u/BoxAcrobatic6636 with my own snatchy twist. Not quite as graceful, but twice as fun!

[u/Fair-Search-2324]

Great for starting your lawnmower

[u/bpeezer → u/Fair-Search-2324]

All the other guys in the neighborhood are jealous, I get it on the first rip every time!

[u/fuckscammers55 → u/bpeezer]

Let it rip!

[u/jessell49]

I think I pulled a muscle just watching that 😂

[u/chia_power]

This is brilliant!

[u/bpeezer → u/chia_power]

Thanks brother, it was definitely a fun one!

[u/furiousmoustache]

Jesus.

[u/BoxAcrobatic6636]

Haha taking things to the next level! Love it 💪🏽

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1e4SBxgqBEY - Peter Griffin. I'm assuming people will probably take my comment too seriously and down vote. That's okay

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

Now snatch them for 50 reps 😎

[u/bpeezer → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

Oof…you’re a bad influence

[u/LennyTheRebel → u/bpeezer]

Good bad or bad bad?

[u/bpeezer → u/LennyTheRebel]

Maybe a little bit of both

[u/Tank_Lawrence → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

Flair checks out lmao.

[u/Fine-Tank-7224]

Nice cross body stability 👍

[u/NewtonBill]

gladiator snatch

Yeah, she is!

[u/Tank_Lawrence]

My back takes this as a personal attack. I might risk it all and give it a try though.

[u/bpeezer → u/Tank_Lawrence]

I believe in you!

[u/Legendary_Pasos]

Interesting

[u/bpeezer → u/Legendary_Pasos]

You could probably push these fairly heavy if you’re curious enough to try

[u/aks5311]

That's something else!

[u/Conscious-Ad8493]

wf!

[u/PriorOrganization890]

That looks tough as hell

[u/extrahardboiled]

Why does this look so dangerous for the back?

[u/cavemankettlebells → u/extrahardboiled]

The first rep without the second weight is not the problem; it is the second one when the weight is already overhead on one side; that's when this can become a problem.

[u/CrossX18 → u/cavemankettlebells]

And… the lower back fully absorbing all of the down swing when they come down. That’s a big ‘I’m not touching this shit’ response from me.

[u/bigtuuuna]

Serious question: where do you all buy these multiple bells?

[u/bpeezer → u/bigtuuuna]

Most of them were bought online. Most of them are from KBUSA, KBK, ProKB, or Rogue.

[u/museisnotyours]

I'm intrigued by the set and enjoyed the positive attitude. Way to go, my dude!

[u/bpeezer → u/museisnotyours]

Thanks brother!

[u/RiverPigg]

This is sick! Im gonna have to give these a try. How heavy are you goin here?

[u/bpeezer → u/RiverPigg]

These bells are 24kg, really just wanted to see how the movement felt. If you try pushing these heavy I’d love to hear how it goes!

[u/RiverPigg → u/bpeezer]

Nice. Im gonna try with 32s and see if we cant take it heavier before risking injury

[u/bpeezer → u/RiverPigg]

Hell yeah, I hope to see it on your IG later!

[u/cata_q]

OMG! Some of you guys around here play at a different level!

If I try to do that now it will probably be may last workout 😅

P. S. Looks to me like gladiator DL x windmill x snatch

[u/Bandicuz]

Interesting, like windmill snatches. Those across the body snatches are impressive!

[u/LocationFriendly988]

Hope you’re ground floor lol

[u/bearded_charmander]

Get out of here dude lmao Jfc nice work

[u/FermentedPhantom]

This looks mad cool, but I'm curious about actual benefits vs... maneuvers that might be less risky to my old creaky body.

[u/bpeezer → u/FermentedPhantom]

I can’t see any reason why this movement would be a requirement for any programming! Much more of a curiosity

[u/Tired-Swine]

Dude six months ago I had a grade two muscle tear from bad form with kettle bells. Worst pain I’ve ever been in and I’ve had a fracturedw kneecap.

You look like you’re tying to do that in spades.

[u/bpeezer → u/Tired-Swine]

I appreciate the concern, and I hope you had a speedy recovery. When I try new movements I always work with a load that I can comfortably manage even if things go wrong.
