I have Incorporated this into my weekly workout however I'm only using 15 lb dumbbells. Unfortunately I can't be as beasty as those guys I'm in my sixties and I suffer with lumbar stenosis. The lion share of my workout time is spent practicing jiu-jitsu, but I just felt like doing this weekly would help me with my jiu-jitsu. Once again I'm old and have lots of arthritis so I kept weight light. I like how it makes me feel so, Thank You!

So far the best workout to burn fat without getting bored on the treadmill😁

this is A LOT tougher than it looks. I'm 58, 170 and recently did 50lb DB's just 10x reps unbroke and huffing and puffing like crazy. I'll have to try again for 30x reps but won't be posting my embarresssing slow time

Love that workout. Sometimes do full cleans to make it harder but with a lighter weight

[andre]

That is a hard work out, throwing 60s around like peanuts....Respekt

I just found this but holy shit I’m loving it.

Good job. But When u start to feel beat up - like forcing your self like doing extra reps or whatever - If u notice the last few reps they couldn’t do it straight press. It means u need a break. Your body is beat don’t force it.
After a break ur body is ready

About 2.5 years late here, but I did notice that he says you have to round up at the end...but Jacob and Adrian rounded down.

[davidgantz]

These 3 guys going 25x reps UNBROKEN with 70lb DBs is brute strength PHENOMENAL

[capitanawesome]

What workouts should I do to accompany this on a day where I do this exercise?

[ABDULBASIT-ysrm]

How many reps in one set? Please tell me any one

[davidsaunders]

So they had 70ibs in each hand or 30ibs

[JC]

Is the percentage for per dumbbell or total weight combined?

[Jafmanz]

sounds great but I weigh 94kg and can't get more than 26kg up doing this.... MEH!

[charlespalmer]

I will exercise some geriatric privilege because I'm over 60 years old. So I will handicap myself and do it with 35 pounders🤣🤣🤣

The black guy just let the weights come straight down instead of bednding at the elbows and controlling the weight on its descent. That poor form can duck your back up and your tendons by your elbows.
