5 minute 24 kg. snatch test- 115 reps.

This was performed on 20080727. The first one i did was performed on 20080405 and I hit 91 reps. This time I hit 115, a pretty big improvement. The main thing i did for this was Max VO2 protocol with 16 kg. and 20 kg. kettlebells. I barely trained with the 24 kg.

Jordan, 115 is nice ! That happens to be my PR as well!

[jordanvezina]

Thanks Franz. I'll probably have to take another swing at it soon.

How is snatching a kettlebell "functional"? By getting good at snatching a kettlebell, all you are doing is just that, adapting your body to snatch kettlebells.

Aside from that, good job, 115 snatches in 5 minutes is very good!

That's a reasonable enough question. Part of it comes down to learning to create power via the hip complex, which translates to many other athletic movements. The strength I have built in all pursuits whether is be deadlifting, pull ups, steel bending, all started with the kettlebells.

Great job Jordan. Your transitions between hands looks really smooth and efficient and prevents wasting an extra partial up-swing.  But do you know if it would be acceptable for the RKC test? It looks a little like a two-handed swing at the bottom which would give you more power coming up than a single-handed swing. Any tips for going from one hand on the kettlebell handle to two hands?

I am a United States Marine and I must say that snatching kettlebells is probably the hardest form of cardio I have ever done. Not only does it give you the heart of a race horse, but it gives you this "never say die vice like grip", powerful explosive hips and leg extensors (which translates into virtually every sport), whip-like power and speed, flexibility, core stabilization, coordination, and mental toughness. Snatches kill you... and then your enemy. Keep on swinging! :D
