About Randy
Randy honors Randy Simmons, 51, a 27-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department and member of its SWAT team, who was killed in the line of duty on February 7, 2008.
It's a single-movement workout with a light barbell. Seventy-five snatches at this weight are well within most athletes' strength, so Randy becomes a test of efficient technique, grip and the willingness to keep the bar moving.
Tips for Randy
- Pick a set scheme before you start, such as 5 sets of 15 or 15 sets of 5, and stick to it.
- Use a hook grip to save your hands, and let the bar drop to the hang rather than lowering it slowly.
- Keep rests short. Thirty seconds of standing over the bar is where most time disappears.
