Kettlebell Training
I remember a few years ago when I discovered the kettlebell snatch.
That was around the time I had decided I was going to train to become an
RKC certified kettlebell instructor.
So, looking over the requirements for certification, one of the requirements was to perform
100 kettebell snatches with a 24kg (53lb) kettlebell in 5 minutes or less.
When I made my 1st attempt at this, it wasn't pretty and I definitely had my work cut for me to get to that level of strength and conditioning.
After a lot of practice rounds, technique work, and relentless conditioning, I finally made the 'snatch test' a staple in my conditioning training.
Even today, the snatch test is
never easy, but it is always achievable and an insanely effective 5 minute "all-out" conditioning experience.
