Kozushi, I just read your training logs today, wow!
I am struck by your strength and humility.
Thank you for posting these.
Humility? I think I'm a pompous bastard! That's an interesting observation! Hahaha!
As for strength - I'm only doing sets of deadlifts at the 300lbs mark right now which is a bit under my 1.5 bodyweight. It seems quite light compared to what I ought to be doing, reading what others are up to. However, it's giving me the strength I need for judo and for living without aches and pains and with good circulation and respiration. It's so simple yet so effective!
Also regarding my strength. I have done a set of 3 getups with the 48kg kettlebell, so that's my maximum ever with that, but I have never pressed more than the 32kg kettlebell, mind you I used to be able to do it 5 or 6 times in a row - now only twice.
In any case, I trust that the SF goals are reasonable and attainable and worthwhile, so I aim for them:
1. S&S with the 48kg bell in under 30 minutes.
2. half bodyweight press.
3. 5 reps with 330lbs deadlift (1.5 bodyweight) - I'm sure I can already do this though as I'm doing it no problem with the 30lbs.
4. 1 rep with 450lbs deadlift.
I think the snatch test is insane - very interesting though and I'll get into that at some point too.
When I've gotten the strength I need, I'll show loyalty to Strong First by trying to test for some certifications. But, like my judo black belt, there is a time for that, when I feel I have truly mastered the skills.
