Snatch ladders* such as these are a sure way to get more grip strength while building wind and making fat go away:
1-5 snatch ladder with one arm swings imbedded in every rung. Run as many times as you can in 10-15 minutes, each time through adding another rep to the top of the ladder – as high as you can go with faultless form.
Men use 24kg or higher; ladies 16kg or higher.

*Also serviceable prep for a snatch test
Always enjoyed snatch ladders with swings in between.. Good stuff Pat
You are also sadistic and know what’s good for you.
In the video you go up the ladder with one arm. Is that what you intend with this workout or do you suggest alternating arms each rung?
Yes, as high as you can with one arm first, then switch.
OK…that’s not very high at the moment so I tried it this morning with alternating arms switching hands during the swing. So I did 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc. Once I get stronger with the single 24kg bell I have, I’ll try working up the ladder with one arm at a time. Thanks for these simple work-out ideas!
That works, but the idea (at least originally) is to stay on one arm, adding one rep of snatch each cycle until you can’t anymore. Power to you!
