Does anyone have any idea what 10 minutes of KB snatches is going to do to the body? Better bring my wheelchair for post workout recovery.
this is nate.
it's not bad. you should be more concerned about your hands. this is known as the secret service snatch test: they use this as part of an assessment. i've done it before in afghanistan. just looked it up on the beyondthewhiteboard...17, nov. 2009 I got 222 reps. i think the world record is like 275 or 279 or something like that. they do it in kettlebell competitions. definitely gonna be taping my hands up well. tear it up!
Lower back is pooched, not supposed to do any jarring movements for a week, but stay active, guess I can do intervals on cardio equipment, though I Feel like eating terrible food and quiting fitness all together, the next time I post send a forklift to carry me out of my house....
Nate again.
Question. jerk is from rack. some people seem to commonly call a rack jerk from behind the neck, on the back. however, the "rack" position is in the front. so which is it?
nate again.
Heavy Evy, stay with it bro! I hurt my back a month back and had to take it easy for a couple weeks as well. sucked, but listening to my body instead of pushing it appears to have lead to a full recovery. think long-term goals...
@brent -
I am prepping a guy at my gym for the Secret Service special agent test and have done this with him (he has to do 200 in 10 mins). It is doable to do 20/min for 10 mins, but I would be careful not to blow it out at the beginning. On tuesday, I did a 5 min version of this with my guy and got 106 in 5 minutes without breathing too hard.
I agree with Nate 100% on the taping of hands. Started getting blisters pretty quick...recovery-wise, did a bunch of work on the external rotators and scapula with a ball. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Nate - nice pun. Wish I could be there with you guys tomorrow. Tear it up!
PS. I'll assume the rack here is from the front unless I hear otherwise.
Split Jerk: #220
HSPU : 16.51
KB snatch: 234 reps in 10 min
Lots of chalk, not that bad just couldn't go any faster, had probably around 30sec rest all up, 250 should be within reach if did a bit more suck factor.
Think I cracked the floor from the touch and go every time!
Massively weakness on the HSPU, did some pressing on friday to improve this weakness. Did half as walk up the wall and half as regular.
Can i be an secret agent now???
Soren
Does the KB go back to the floor in between each rep or just to the hang?
PTS
Nate here. KB should not have to go to floor every rep, simply back to the hang. They don't do that in any competition i've been to so far and they don't do that in the KB competitions that I've watched videos of. Unless Coach wants otherwise...
Checking the utube videos, it looks like a swing, not a touch to the floor, fwiw. I'm on the 10 min rest between jerk and hspu so will check back to see if there's agreement or not in a bit.
Not sure how recent this is, but I'm sure a few of you should record your efforts:

Just missed locking out 261, 257 is best last year. For HSPU, did 5 every 30 sec to 25, then 3 every 30 for 3 more, then doubles to 40, then singles to finish. First time on the snatch, wow.

30lbs off my PR. Only good thing about HSPU is that they were all strict with good form. Just couldn't get going on the snatches (did them with the swing, not from the ground). Felt shitty today. Shitty warm up.

looking forward to improving all of these
SJ: 200#, 10# PR - super easy too, but metal plates
HSPU: 5:11 - done to 2",3",4" plates. 19 straight, then 5s & singles from there
KB Snatch: sort of lost count between 170-180. Subbed DB, as no KB in the globo.
Side note: Just found a crossfit gym in kalamazoo, MI (ya, it really exists). Super excited - see ya globo!

Good job to Big dawgs Rafa, Laura, and Vic @Redline. Everyone hit pr's!
Terrible planning this morning on my part. I let way too many factors interfere.
A. 270#
- Built to 250# on the weak side, then switched to strong side.
- Expected to get WAY closer to 300#, which really threw me off.
- The mental aspect of this game is a constant challenge for me. How strong am I really? How strong can we become?
B./C. Out of time. Like I said, bad planning.
Good luck dawgs!

Just missed 140. I couldn't lock it out. For HSPUs first ten were kipped then moved over to my rig (AKA bands). KB snatches went well, but I think I rested too much. Hardest part was the pop at the top to keep it from banging my wrist.
Great morning with Big Dawgs Jared and Vic!
Long time OPT fan, 1st time posting.

C:127...yuck!
I imagined today going sooo much better! I really thought I had more than 133 in me today, but thank god Holly Mangold is coming to fix my O-lifts in a few weeks! My HSPU felt weak today, left shoulder felt extra tweaky wanna try this again with better feeling shoulders! Snatches were ugh, my left arm just is so uncoordinated with them so I'm sure I'll have a beautiful bruise tomorrow! I just imagined breathing really hard during it and I didn't at all...I guess I better stop whining and get my shit together for tomorrow though!
Split Jerk - 295#
HSPU - 3:22

No KB so I had to do DB Snatch w/55#
I'm not sure what the difference is good or bad using the DB vs the KB but I never felt like I could get in a rhythm.

Forearms hitting kb became the limiting factor today. Don't do them often enough. I think I'm capable of 200+ if I had a forearm guard. Good little test.
Nice numbers today dawgs and great job Gord!

Good Job Big Dawgs Jared, Rafa and Laura
Jennifer: AKA Mrs. dmarsh. I thought that name was familiar. Nice to see you posting on here, hope all is well.
Mrs Dmarsh who I will call JMarsh you are crazy beastly and I am so glad you are here posting awesome work.

186 – I thought I had 196, but I think it was actually 186. I think I started in my right hand not left, which would mean 186. Not 100% sure now…
Hitting the BD challenge wods this afternoon cause I missed them last weekend.
and if time is on my side I'll try for todays testing later on in the evening.

Unhappy with KB Snatches; really hurt back of forearms each time they hit as I extend arm at top(I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here). Regardless of what I do with wrist/forearm, I can't get comfortable with these...any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
Laura, Vic and Jared congrats on your PRs!
All HSPU were strict, head to floor, full arm extension at top.

This is Nate.
Part 1: 335 (10lb PR). hit 330, failed 340, then dropped to 335 and hit it a little shakily. good to PR though.
Part 2: 2:32. all strict.
Part 3: 238. 16 rep PR. hands were the limiting factor. had them taped and the tape just bunched up. spent some time trying to find the ends and unbunch the tape and get it off. good though. lower left back quadrant tightened up.
Good doing this with competition.

First day going heavy after switching over to splitting with the right leg forward - 20 lbs. off PR, felt strong but definitely awkward. Handstand push-ups were all strict, and a massive PR from just six weeks ago. Mental failure on the snatches - had 100 at 5:00, then lost it.
nate again.
final attempt, 335, PR.

34/180#/66"
SJ - 264#
HSPU - 2:30 (strict)
1.5 pood snatches - 200
I used the "cut tube sock" technique from Dragon Door to avoid ripping my hands up and it worked great.
Part 1. 265# (20#PR)
Part 2. 3:52 Tried longer break (30sec) b/t attempts. 17,10,10,6,6,1. Seemed to work well. Competed against Skvarka. a.k.a. Surperman. He has similar capacity in this movement.He worked with 15 sec break. We finished pretty close in time. He got me by a few sec. Every sec counts though right? Good test. May try a bit shorter break nest time.
Part 3. 150. First time trying this. Stopping to chalk was bigger limiting factor than fatigue. Still recovering from URI seven days ago.
No rack or proper weights at work, so skipped the Split Jerk, and will try it sometime this week
HSPU's 8:40...first half were easy and strict and done in 2min, but after that it fell apart and turned into kipping 1-3 at a time
160 reps, but with a 55lb DB. The weights were falling off of it because it was the twist on ends - what a stupid design and idea that is, but apparently it's "safer" then spring clips, bullshit!!
Low back tightened up pretty bad on the snatches too, but loosened up fine afterwards.
As much as I like doing things on the day of, I may start going a few days behind only to be better prepared when I'm on shift.
Nate - how big are you? Just watched that 335 which is very impressive, but have no idea how heavy you are.

Notes: Hit 235 after failing on it once then missed on 245. Previous PR was 246 so a little disappointing, but then again I haven't jerked heavy in a while. HSPUs went rough--hit 10 pretty easy to start with then only got 7 in next set, then did the rest in 3s and 2s. KB snatches were pretty nasty, started with 15 on each arm then moved to sets of 10. Hopefully this cold will pass so I can get back to pushing harder.
Yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of.the death of my father he was a WWII marine and I had some drinks in his honor...

Just watched my HSPU and DBsnatch videos.
The count on the 10 min 55# DB Snatch AMRAP was actually 182 not 202. I was doing 10 per arm and lost track by one set.
Here is the HSPU video. A couple of non-reps should have been do-overs. Good learning tool.
