Workout: Randy
Gym Workout: Hero Workout!
Workout: Randy – In honor of Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member who was killed in the line of duty February 6, 2008.
“Randy”
For time (as fast as possible)
– 75 Power Snatches (light weight, recommend no more than 75 lb)
Score is the time on the clock when the last power snatch is completed.
Tips and Strategy: Good technique from the start sets the tone for “Randy.” Although the weight is light and you can get away with muscling your way through the first half, that will quickly catch up with you on the back-half of this high-rep workout. Using the legs while keeping the arms straight and relaxed allows for the upper body to have gas in the tank for the last 25-30 reps. The way you break up your reps is up to you. Here are some options to try:
21-18-15-12-9
5 sets of 15
5 sets of 10, then 8-8-7-7
