I have not done the snatch test in a few months so I thought it would be a good idea to give it a shot. The snatch test idea comes from Pavel/StrongFirst of course. The idea is to do 100 reps with the 53 lb bell in under 5 minutes.
I've been training primarily with the 40 lb kettlebell so testing with the 35 felt nice and light. I managed to do 100 reps in about 3 minutes 50 seconds. I have a feeling my lockouts wouldnt pass a StrongFirst certification so that is something I need to work on. My conditioning is improving because last time I tested it took 4:47 to finish the 100 reps. It still feels like I am miles away from snatching the 53 lb bell 100x but I'm enjoying the process with no signs of my motivation lagging.
I also attempted to do 6 minutes of 30 second work/30 second rest Front Squats with a pair of 35 lb bells. Halfway thru the 5th set I thought I was gonna puke so I stopped there lol.
Training is overall going great. Sometimes I dont think I am doing enough actual strength training but the numbers dont lie. Next week I'm going to see if I can press the 24 kg bells for 5 reps :)
