Swinging squats?

 

[Megatomic]

Yeah, I wish I could remember the name of the exercise. You hold a dumb bell in both hands, go down into a squat, "explode" up and swing the weight (like a baseball bat) towards one shoulder. Squat down and repeat going the other way. I do 3 sets of 8 (both ways for 1 rep).

What would I call that?

Sounds like a variation on the sandbag halfmoon, although that doesn't really involve a full squat...

 

[Megatomic]

Thanks but that's not the same exercise. I got this one from the ABS Diet book, but I can't find the book since we moved from TX to NY. But the exercise I do does indeed involve a full squat, lots of them...
