Snatch it!...and some Front Squats

I look forward to snatching the kettlebell on Fridays because it is the only day I allow myself to do it. My training schedule looks like this:

Mondays - Swings
Tuesday - Endurance walking
Wednesday - Military Presses
Thursday - Sprints
Friday Snatches & High-rep Front Squats
I practice Get-ups on at least 2 non-consecutive days of my chosing.

If I want to take a day off I skip the walking but I try not to skip any kettlebell training days. 
Every exercise I do to complements the other which is why I only train each exercise 1/7 days. When I am practicing swings I am also practicing the same exact arm and hip movement as the snatch. When I practice my getups I am practicing the above the head portion of the snatch.  It works the other way too so when I am practicing snatches I am improving my 1-arm swing and getup!  The Front Squat is the true beast because it improves every other lift!

The 16 kg bell felt light as a feather and I managed a little work with the 18 kg bell as well.  I did 5 sets of 6 and 5 sets of 7 today.  I meant to do a third round of 8 reps/set but wanted to save some energy for Front Squats. 

Since I am trying to gain muscle I figured it is time to get over myself  and start squatting!  I did a decent amount of back squatting in my 20's and have been avoiding it ever since.  I think my personal record was 225x5 reps or something close to that.  I was never very strong at it and looking back I think my form was probably horrific.  I have decided to focus on the kettlebell front squat instead of the back squat.  It seems safer and  will seriously  help strengthen my military press.  I also wont need to buy an Olypmic bar and squat rack.    My first goal is to Front Squat my 18 kg bells for 50 consecutive reps.  Today I did 3 sets with about 90 seconds rest of 20, 15 and 15 reps.

Here's some snatches with the 18 kg bell.  It's a little too heavy for me but I like playing with it so long as I am warmed up.  My form is pretty bad here.
