Kettlebell SnatchAPalooza

Did about 100 snatches with the 53lb kettlebell, in sets of 5L+5R, mostly with 1-3 RKC Kettlebell Instructors watching and giving me feedback.  Over about an hour.  Lots of corrective drills in between.

My homework:

  1. Knees out on snatches and swings.
  2. Left elbow pulling just slightly out on snatches to counteract my bad habit of corkscrewing.
  3. More left glut max in swings and snatches

Finished with 100 snatches with the 44lb kettlebell in 5:00

My Mentors

  • The Landmark Forum
    Remove all of the mental blocks in your fitness. Find out why "trying really hard" and "wanting it really bad" hasn't gotten you to the level of fitness you want. If you feel "stuck", this is how you get to the next level.
  • Z-Health Performance Solutions
    Transform the way your body moves. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan move so powerfully and so gracefully because their mind has a better "map" of their body. Z Health clears up where your body's map has fuzzy spots, and in turn you are stronger, faster, more powerful, and more graceful.
  • Pavel Tsatsouline
    Pavel is the Russian Kettlebell Head Instructor. This is the school for strength and fitness like no other.
  • Dan John
    Dan is a world class strength coach who simplifies strength and fitness in a powerful and unbelievable way. I had a breakthrough as a trainer when I heard him say "People think it takes hard work to produce high level athletes. It doesn't take hard work. Producing high level athletes takes play."

    Certified Kettlebell Instructor

    • RKC Certified

      I'm a huge fan of all things RKC and Dragon Door - that's why I buy my kettlebells there, I buy kettlebell books from there, and I even got my kettlebell certification there. I'm an affiliate, and I get a commission if you get stuff from them, and that pays for me to be able to spend time writing this blog. I'm also friends with everyone there, and they're good people. So what I'm saying is, my opinion is a little biased towards the RKC, but it's only because I think it's the best kettlebell information organization out there, and I've invested my kettlebell education there.
