I'm 160 lbs. Is there any base strength levels I should meet on say TGU, swings, dl, squat, etc, before I try the 100 24kg snatches in 10 min challenge? Thanks!
No, there is no prerequisite, but ...I'm 160 lbs. Is there any base strength levels I should meet on say TGU, swings, dl, squat, etc, before I try the 100 24kg snatches in 10 min challenge? Thanks!
I have wondered about the similarities between simple and 100 24kg snatches in 5 mins for a while now. I acieved both standards at about the same time a few years ago and found that I am about as gassed or strained by them equally. However as my snatching skills have improved the snatch test has become "easier" for me even when I am relatively out of shape.
Personally I would suggest working towards simple for strength and conditioning while practicing snatching as a skill on lighter days or as part of your warm up. This worked well for me and goes along with some the advice given by those above.
