[Filip Strong]

That's insane. 101 reps with 40kg

WOW that was phenomenal.

First snatch test I've ever seen on video with 40kg. He appears to be nose-breathing up to 3 minutes in... amazing. And there's no doubt about a solid lockout on each and every snatch.

Bravo!

Levi just did it today! Someone tagged him to do it.

Both these athletes are crazy. The first guy for throwing down the gauntlet and maintaining a more traditional hard style form. Levi for taking up the challenge and doing it same day without any prep or peaking. Freaking outstanding effort to both of them.

And, what's more, neither has a squatty hinge...

True. But in defense of the squatty hinge (which varies in degrees from helpful in early degrees to poor form in larger degrees), that particular discussion was about snatching a weight heavier than one can complete a snatch test with. For example, my snatch test weight is 16kg, and I would do 5 powerful (very slightly squatty; more knee bend) reps with 28kg. I might only be able to complete a snatch test with 20kg (closest I came with that was 94 reps).

That’s seriously impressive on both counts but the first guy maintains a HS approach throughout and as Anna said maintains nose breathing till 3 mins in. Take a bow my friend.. that is savage work..

Couldn't be said better.
It's also takes a certain degree of mastery to adapt some oly barbell snatch curves into kettlebell snatch (which I clearly see in some of the modern hardstyle snatch practitioners), without turning it into simple quad dominance.

Olenkowicz can jerk 375#/170kg & hang snatch 330/150, so that KB must seem manageable. All these are beasts.

 

[John K]

All I can say is now I have a new goal... snatch test @40kg!!

Strong. Great leg drive, like a clockwork.
