Video courtesy of Simon Colley.  Not everyone has access to an ab wheel, evil wheels or a power wheel. The barbell makes a great substitute to help develop an iron trunk

Video courtesy of sleekmr2.  Putting the bar over the knees will help you not break at the knees. Think of these like GHDs.

S/S/S:

Hang Snatch

5×2

Increase weight per set

For Hang, anywhere between crease of hip and mid thigh. Hold onto bar between reps as much as possible.

 

WOD:

Death by:

Double Kettlebell or Dumbbell Hang Clean & Jerk

For KB (53/35) for DB (55/35)

 

Video courtesy of Kettlebell Secrets.  For the Kettlebell version, this is the form you will use.  Notice the position of the thumbs as he swings the KBs between his legs.  They are pointing behind him, and they rotate forward as he comes up.  Do likewise.

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness.  IF you go DBs, you will do the last version Matt Chan demos.

 

So, at GO!…have the DBs or KBs in the hang position, clean to shoulders(power), then jerk overhead. Stand up to full lock out and bring weights back down. Rest until the end of the minute. At the start of the next minute, perform two reps, then rest. At the start of the next minute perform 3 reps,…etc until you can’t finish the number of reps needed for a particular minute (this is where you “die”).
