Everyone did 7 kettlebell snatches, one person starting as the previous person finished. So, I did 7 left, our friend did 7 left, my wife did 7 left, I did 7 right, and so it went, for 20 minutes. It was, to quote a Russian I know, simple, brutal, and effective. Everyone got over 100 reps in their 20 minutes and was able to use a heavy enough weight. I have not been training the kettlebell snatch at all, save an odd workout here and there, but I got 112 reps with a 24 kg weight and everything felt fine afterwards and also today - no soreness. If you do the math, you'll see I gave up at about 16 minutes - that was plenty for me. Just hoping an idea might give someone else a new thought for their own workout. This was basically :20 on, :40 off, a nice ratio for a 50/20-style workout, I think. -S- http://www.kbnj.com

Great fun. Old Uncle Mal

Worked OK, again did 7 reps each at a time although in retrospect we agreed that, because of the longer rests, we'd go for a few more reps per person next time. The 12-year-old did snatches with either a 4 kg or and 8 kg kettlebell - was his first time doing this movement. My 16-year-old insisted on using a 24 despite his less than stellar technique, and we eventually managed to persuade him that his hands would get less beat up if he'd go with 16 kg instead of 24 - it's interesting to see how important technique is in this movement, because my 16-year-old has the size and strength to snatch a 32 kg bell for the kinds of reps we were doing, but he doesn't have the technique down yet. -S- http://www.kbnj.com

But I could be wrong, happens often enough. Yea, mastery of the tech side is one big factor for snaching performance with any implement either strength or strength endurance wise. Same for a few other things too. Old Uncle Mal Last Edited By: Malcolm47 07/07/09 05:27:27. Edited 1 times.
