Goal met, 5 x 10/10 Snatch with 24 kg

When Glenn started training with us regularly he asked what was my goal with my snatch training. It's been so long since I've been really able to "train" and even think about setting real goals that I didn't know how to answer.

My long term, basic goal with my snatch training is always to stay within striking distance of the RKC snatch test. 100 reps in five  minutes is no joke for me and even though, at my advanced age I would be 'allowed' to use the 20 kg what will not do.

I used to try to get to double the test volume as my workout but I don't have the time or patience for that now, especially since I am deadlifting too on Saturdays and need to have some back hips and legs for that as well. SO it' 100 reps total and I though when I could do 5 sets of 10/10 regularly and easily then that would put me in the best set position to peak quickly if someone holds a gun to my head and  makes me do it:))

Thursdays sets of 50 and my new swing groove gave me some confidence but I really didn't know what to expect today( as I rarely do til I start swinging) but Glenn was peaking today and he was going for  5 x10/10 so I thought I would give it a shot.

It went great. Easy peezy.
Given where Glenn was 8 months ago this was a serious serious milestone for him and showed him not only the power of the kb swing and snatch but of his own recovery ability, strength and endurance he has left.

Plus he's pulling me along for the ride too.
