Okay, Roland is my daddy. He did the Magic 50 workout from Infinite Intensity on Tuesday. It looks like this

5 rounds for time
--5 DB snatch per hand
--5 DB swing per hand
--10 burpees

Roland's time with a 50lb DB - 11'12"
my time with a 45lb DB - 24'03"

Man, my conditioning sucks donkey balls. I will say that (a) I ended up with a heavier DB than I thought--45lbs versus 35lbs (some douchewad can't match the numbers on the DB with the numbers on the DB rack)--and (b) I tweaked the swings by adding a horizontal high-pull to the top of the ROM per Steve Cotter's demo with KBs. No extra rotational work needed for me!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go shower and murder a sushi buffet before going to work
