Hi all,
I'm still working through PT, so I'm not ready to resume my snatch practice. My current plan is still to come back to Speed Metal. I like that program, and it seems to still hit a lot of the criteria of A+A/AXE. Honestly, though, my goal is to pass the SFG snatch test, so that I can...
Has anyone tried adjusting other variables in an A+ A program when you don’t have the prescribed bell size?
In a few days I’ll have my snatch test bell after a months long absence from iron and want to do some snatching (and other skills practice) for the few months I have it.
While one...
Anybody see this yet? Aleks Salkin SFG II wrote it and Pavel Macek did the foreword. He’s got some really handy drills that make taming the different arc in the ballistic lifts a lot easier and faster.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen of the forum.
I have been a long time enthusiast of this forum and have practiced kettlebells seriously since late 2021 completing RoP with 24kg, achieving timed simple, rerunning RoP with 24kg and now beginning RoP with 32kg. Prior to that, I utilized...
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...
BACKGROUND:
So, I'm just as unimpressed with a 2xBW bench press, where the bar travels some fraction of an inch in space, as anyone. And, I've been thinking of how I've been able to increase my rep speed and tempo via stance; while also doing my best to avoid a pause at the top of the rep in my...
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!

Can you guys please critique my snatch form.
Here’s a few links. One is me practicing with a 24kg bell and another with a 32kg bell.
Looking forward. Thanks!

This is just a thought that popped in my head, not anything related to my current training, but is there anyone that consistently does the Bent Press + Snatch program minimum and who finds it more fulfilling than the classic Getups + Swings + (Goblet Squats)? I like the variety on this blog and...
Does anyone have any good resources on developing and maintaining the necessary mobility for a barbell overhead squat?
I've had a recent idea that getting to a point where this position is viable and comfortable and then maintaining it could work as some form of mobility MED for me, due the ROM...
Hello everyone, I do the S&S program 5 days a week, I started with 16 kg kettlebell now I train with 24 kg, one-arm Swing and TGU. I want to fit into C&J and Snatch workouts, what is the best way to do it in order to have time to recover? and in what quantities? split by week heavy, light, medium?
Good day, Strongfirst men and women!
I am requesting technique review.
In the link below, there are three videos of me doing some exercises. If you are willing, I would appreciate review and feedback.
For context:
I'm 5'8", 145 lbs
The deadlift was conducted at 295 lbs after a few sets of...
Need a little direction. Is it possible to snatch A A every day?I think some have said they do it, but I am not sure what they started with in doing so. Just trying to find a good place to start if anybody has some suggestions.
So I have been trying out snatching and bent-pressing, but not RSAS as I am still far from the required strength requirement of simple. But what I can say is I'm enjoying snatching and Bent pressing. I havent timed myself on my lifts but on weekdays I snatch my 20kgs and on Sundays I snatch my...
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...
Ive been doing a lot of snatches lately and really like the conditioning and power results. Specifically I’ve been following the A+A but with snatches.
Once I’ve finished the A+A plan i was thinking to add in some clean and jerks with one bell (I read a great article on martial conditioning)...
