I started at about 195 pounds....goal was 44 kg. I initially used a 24 kg. Went through the process and started again with 24 reducing the rest between rungs and ladders. Did it like a third time!! using no rest between rungs.....then did the 28 kg. like twice ....again reducing rest but not to the extent of no rest like the 24. Then did the same with the 32. At this point I had people telling me things like "I see you're lifting again" ..... I then found out that I needed to buy a beast because I outgrew my 1/2 press! Was up to well over 200.....gained some muscle........I then bought the beast. I went through it again with a 36 and afterward decided to test the beast. I got it. Was a great feeling standing over it in my garage!Can you run is through the weights you used starting out and how you progressed? Like did you start over with the same weight or go up every time?
As to the snatch test, I was a big fan of every minute on the minute training back then and I worked up to 10/10 every minute on the minute and realized afterward that was 200 reps!
This was like 10/11 years ago.
