10 Minute Snatch Test
 

I did 130 snatches with a 45lb kettlebell.

My goal is to get to 200 snatches by summertime and move on to 24kg kettlebell.

=========================
With its origins in the prestigious U.S. Secret Service selection process, the rules are simple. You must do as many repetitions of the kettlebell snatch as possible in ten minutes. Using the 24kg kettlebell (ladies, use the 12kg), you may switch hands whenever you?d like and you may even set the bell down (so you can toss your cookies). Final count is total sum of snatches, period. The only unspoken rule is that you will not quit. Got a blister, tough, use the other hand for the remaining time. Tear a callous, tough it out. Don?t even think about stopping when the phone rings. You can rest the kb on the deck to keep a lung down, but it?d better be moving when the timer sounds.

If you are into fitness give this a try. I have been doing kettlebells for about three months now. I have incredible retard strength and cardio that doesn't quit. I also grapple, wrestle and do Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Kettlebells also fixed my hip which was mis-aligned due to grappling constantly.

I never could bring myself to do a snatch. Just looks to dangerous.

Aw I thought we were talking about pussy :(

I could do your mom's snatch in about 10 minutes.

LOL...

Someone over heard me talking about "doing" snatches. I got a weird look from a parent.
