Long time no combos

I was hesitating between a LCCJ-workout and some Tracy-style combo (those are always fun, nonetheless, they smoke one's ass, too, lol).
But why choose? :)
C&J is a great strength endurance exercise by itself but it fits very well into combos, or as David Whitley calls them, Extended Kettlebell Drills, too: "It [an E. K. D.] works your strength-endurance and coordination while giving you a tremendous cardio blast. It is not for the faint of heart."
And now that the secret of Kenneth Jay's "Viking push press" is lifted, why not integrate that as well? :)

So today's 'salad':

swing
snatch
clean & jerk
"Viking" push press
snatch
transfer

4 times through = 1min

9 rounds, alternating sets of
2min on, 1min off @12kg and
1min on, 1min off @ 16kg
for a total of 45min.

This is a good one :) I'll try it with doubles sometime, too.

Here's the last two sets, with corresponding fatigue:

Thank you all!

Combos are such a great tool, so versatile with all those variables, plus they're fun! I hope to come up with new ones from time to time.
