Hello y'all!
Yesterday I found a post on Instagram that listed milestones for kettlebell training. A couple were the standard kind - swings and getups with 32, then the 40, then the 48 - and a couple were "milestones" I hadn't thought of.
Here's a couple from the post:
Clean and Jerk (single bell)
Snatches (single)
I thought it was interesting that they split milestones into "strength endurance" and "conditioning."
I'm also blown away that someone could do 100 snatches in 5 min with a 40kg bell!
The clean and jerk reminds me of Jon Engum's article here.
The press and squat - they said either single or double bell, but I think those are two very different standards - squatting 5x5 with a single 32kg is one thing, with doubles it is another animal (at least for me).
Anyways, it was interesting to see another person's idea for "milestones" in your kettlebell journey. I don't think I'll be adopting them for my training or training others. I'm not sure why, working through why I think that.
