There's a great gym where I live in New York, but I'm home for a coupla weeks on vacation and there ain't shite around. In the garage I found these old ten pound plates, a bar, and a pair of collars, so after dusting off the cobwebs (literally) and killing a couple of spiders that lived in the center of the plates, I fashioned myself a 45lb barbell.

And thanks to this forum, the first exercise I thought of doing with this 45lb barbell was.... you got it, 100 rep snatch. Didn't time myself this time, but I am positive I was a minute or two slower than my PR time, mainly because it was much more difficult to stabilize the barbell over my head once I snatched it up. Also, my forearms were burning like all hell by the end. Like, really, they kinda hurt.

Which is why I'm doing one-armed snatches strictly with barbells from this moment forward. Goodbye, limp-wristedness.
