These workouts are designed to build power and endurance. If the load or volume is too easy or too difficult then adjust the load/volume to meet your needs. Be smart and scale as required. If you are leaving any of these workouts with plenty of energy and you are not smoked; then you clearly are not training with any sort of intensity and should go find your balls....because you clearly left them somewhere. You should take minimal amounts of breaks throughout these workouts to maintain elevated HR.
Why only 3 workouts....frankly 3 power endurance workouts a week is a lot of volume. These should be incorporated with 2 days of "active recovery", i.e. 30-60 minutes of low intensity sort of exercise. Run at 60-75% MHR, or Yoga, or just solid mobility. Whatever you want frankly.
The question of equipment: I don't have 'x'. If you don't have a piece of equipment then find an alternate. I.e. DB swings as opposed to KB swings. DB snatch to KB snatch. Or you could go out and buy a 1POOD (53lb KB) for relatively cheap. 53lb KB is considered to basic load for any sort of movement, and if you are actually working out you will "grow into it" relatively quickly. You can find a solid inexpensive KB from http://www.muscledriverusa.com/.
Some general rules to follow:
Start light, with higher reps focusing on proper form adding weight once you get the technique down.
Finish your reps.
Do no harm
Go deep on squats...anything else is just uncivilized
**Training is designed to prevent injury...not cause it...dont be a complete idiot.
If you are unsure what something is google it, if you dont know how to do that then go walk off a cliff
