Using kettlebells and bodyweight

1A.  1 arm snatch 2x12 each side
1B.  Explosive pushups 2x12

2A.  1 arm clean and push press 2 x 12 each side
2B.  Pistol/reverse lunge 2 x 12 each side

3A.  2 arm snatch 2 x 10
3B.  Hindu pushups 2 x20

4A.  2 arm clean and press 2 x 10
4B.  Jump squats 2 x 25

Move from "A" to "B" with very brief or no rest, Then rest 60-90 seconds after completing"B". Complete all rounds before moving to next superset.   This workout was inspired from Mike Mahler, check him out if you have been living under a rock lately in the fitness world. 

The following video is part one of four on this workout that illustrates only the first superset with one possible variation to make things more intense. When I get 10 comments/ questions on the blog I will post part two and three and I address any possible questions for substitutions and variations.

Hey Matt,

i got a question? What to do, I want to explode more from the bottom of the squat? I always have the feeling that only my legs do the work without the assistens of the hips. Perhaps i don´t use my hamstrings and my glutes? i don´t no. any advice.

Thank you!!!

it all depends on your body positioning in the squat. You must keep a flat back regardless of a high bar or low bar squat, but you will get more hamstring recruitment from a low bar squat, while a high bar squat naturally has more thigh involvement. Drive your hips up while keeping your chest up. I would have to look at video at least to critique your technique.

Matt,

Your programming is great. I have been doing CrossFit wod's for about 2 years now. I have really grown to enjoy/hate your wod's as well. Keep the videos coming. They really help with improving form and learning new movements.

Thanks!

Chris
