Hello sirs! I want to do an SFG kettlebell cert sometime in the future and that is what my current training reflects. I've been working with the 16 kg bell for about a year and just recently got my first 24 kg bell. To say the least, its weight is intimidating and I have an incredible amount of respect for people who can snatch this baby 100x in under 5 minutes!
The bell just feels too heavy for me at the moment. When I do the back swing with it it feels like it could easily slip out of my hand. When I put it overhead I have very little confidence.
I typically do very short routines - for the past few months it's been
Monday - Military Presses and 2-hand swings
Thursdays - Snatches and Front Squats
I've been making great progress on this routine. I've completely changed my body composition training this way and I never felt so strong. That being said I feel like I am a million miles away from being able to snatch the 24 kg for reps. At the moment it is safe to say I can only snatch it in an ugly manner and reps is out of the question.
I am wondering if I should drop snatch training until I can do one-arm swings and TGU's comfortably with the 24 kg bell? Any advice is appreciated.
The livestream videos are awesome and are only firing me up more to one day be SFG!
thanks!
