snatch test

Hi all, I’ve been testing this snatch test training program with some of my students and seeing solid improvements, so I wanted to share it here to gather additional feedback. This is a six-week training plan to prepare for the SFG 5-minute snatch test (24kg test weight). You can download...

Hi. My long run goal is to achieve the SFG1 kettlebell certification. I am now practicing the snatch movement, which is the most difficult. I can do the basic movement, but the kettlebell hits my wrist/forearm each time, so I am learning now to perfect the movement. I understand that the...

Hy Guys, it would be great if you could give me feedback on my snatch form during the snatch test (link below). Where do you see the biggest weaknesses? Does anything look already solid? Thanks in advance! snatch test

As I train for the SFG I in Tampa in a couple of weeks, I wanted to film one of my 100 snatch test prep workouts and get some feedback from the group. Most importantly, I want to ensure that my reps are good, my descent from lockout is correct (I unhinge the shoulder), and just general feedback...

Hi folks! One of my long-term goals is to pass SFG I standards, and I'm finding ROP is a great program for this, since the C&P are built into the program and the other strength moves can be practiced on variety days. The only thing I'm wondering about is the ballistic component, which, from what...

EDIT: 3 weeks after the original post, I have carried out the glycolytic peaking as suggested by @conor78, @Mark Limbaga and @Anna C. Today I re-tested the snatch test and got the 100 reps :) . I´m amazed by being able to complete a snatch test for the second time in my life, having only...

I've been doing escalating density snatches once a week ala @Brett Jones prep guide, preparing for SFG 1 in November. I use the 20 kg for now and been using a HRM. I'm a bit intrigued by the HR graphs. Below are my sessions with 7/7, 8/8 and 9/9 reps on the minute. It was 12 minutes, 10...

What is the heaviest bell anyone has managed to snatch 100 reps in 5 min?

Just wondering if anyone came across or would share some measurables they have if they are good at the snatch test (meaning 100+ reps) with their bell size. I've heard the "should be able to press your snatch bell 20x" and things like that. Any info would satiate my appetite ;)

I've been working a lot with kettlebell snatches lately and making great progress but it's tearing my hands up pretty good. I've learned to take things easy when I notice my callouses prematurely tearing but every now and then I'll get a nasty tear that can derail my training for a week or more...
