75 power snatches for time at one fixed barbell weight, a single-movement, high-volume sprint similar in spirit to Isabel but at much higher volume and a lighter load.

Movements in this workout
Scaling
Scaled
55/35 lb keeping sets of 10+, or 50 reps at 75/55. When form degrades to a stiff-legged pull, the load is wrong regardless of what the clock says.
Beginner
50 dumbbell snatches (alternating arms) at a light weight. The power snatch pattern first, the volume later.
The story
Honors Los Angeles Police Department SWAT Officer Randy Simmons, 51, killed in the line of duty on February 7, 2008, the first LAPD SWAT officer to die in the unit's history. Seventy-five power snatches at 75 lb: light, fast, and a masterclass in how a 'light' barbell stops being light.
