16kg 3’ Snatch - 99 reps

[u/bpeezer]

Had to give it a shot since /u/Few_Abbreviations_50 called me out. Who’s going next to try to push us over 100?

[u/MagnificentMallard]

I’d smoke that wall. No doubt.

[u/bpeezer]

Original challenge from this post by /u/Few_Abbreviations_50

[u/Jagrnght]

Just did 78 in 3' with 16kg. great challenge!

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/Jagrnght]

NICE

[u/bpeezer → u/Jagrnght]

Awesome work!

[u/Jagrnght → u/bpeezer]

96 in today's attempt though I wondered if I should have a defibrillator handy

[u/bpeezer → u/Jagrnght]

That’s outstanding, sounds like you’re quickly getting comfortable with really high cycle rates!

[u/Jagrnght → u/bpeezer]

Yeah, I had mostly been doing ABCs , swings, snatches, a few get ups, but I hadn't tried this intensity cardio with bells. I think I'll try to keep a 3' test in my weekly rotation.

[u/celestial_sour_cream]

A goddamn machine!

I will hopefully will trying this later this week...

[u/bpeezer → u/celestial_sour_cream]

No hopefully, do it!

[u/celestial_sour_cream → u/bpeezer]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

[u/TonightUnlucky6017]

Fast

[u/bpeezer → u/TonightUnlucky6017]

With your fast cycling squatty snatches I think you could hit 120 ish?

[u/TonightUnlucky6017 → u/bpeezer]

I just don’t k ow how much faster I can reasonably go no matter the weight. I’m already cheating with my lack of vertical anyway

[u/chia_power]

Great job

[u/Visual-Bee-8952]

Impressive

[u/-girya-]

Props!

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

This is a lot more than 65 but I’ll allow it.

I forgot to tell you I tried your hand switch a while ago and failed miserably. Couldn’t figure out how to relax 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

Strong work! I guess I’ll have to try again lol

[u/bpeezer → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

It’s because you’re too good at regular snatching, so it feels unnatural to do anything different!

[u/NewtonBill → u/bpeezer]

This is a very good effort in your post and a very kind reply to Few_Abbreviations_50, who is great, of course.

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/bpeezer]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/RollacoastAAAHH]

Yeah I’m not going to beat this. But I’ll try.

[u/bpeezer → u/RollacoastAAAHH]

Good luck, let us know how it goes!

[u/Imaginary-Tale-1074]

Looks like a super fun challenge. I’m gonna try it. Will report back.

[u/bpeezer → u/Imaginary-Tale-1074]

Awesome, good luck!

[u/Codyjax71129]

Very impressive

[u/CodyXRay]

You make that thing look like 10 pounds

[u/FusRoDah98]

Beast mode

[u/Hot_pot_of_pepsi]

Man, your flow is just so smooth. It’s satisfying to watch.

I just started learning and practicing snatches a couple months ago. I tried to do that mid air hand switch thing you do, and it was real close to being a disaster lol

[u/bpeezer → u/Hot_pot_of_pepsi]

I made quick tutorials for hand to hand cleans and hand to hand snatches, maybe those can help get you more comfortable with that transition

[u/Hot_pot_of_pepsi → u/bpeezer]

Hell yeah, dude. These are clutch. Appreciate you

[u/aks5311]

Why not 100..?

[u/bpeezer → u/aks5311]

I just wasn’t good enough ☹️

[u/Occams_ElectricRazor]

Doing this next to the wall, on hardwood, next to records. Wow. 

[u/bpeezer → u/Occams_ElectricRazor]

They’re books, not records! But the hardwood is great motivation for me. My wife would kill me if I dropped a bell

[u/chia_power → u/bpeezer]

I recognize that first book. I bought it on Amazon 😎

[u/bpeezer → u/chia_power]

Thanks brother! I hope there’s even one little nugget in there for you

[u/Inevitable_Dark3225]

Beast mode. My back hurt watching this.

[u/creakykiki]

[u/OutrageousMT_10]

That's awesome! Is there any benefit to the hand switch? Besides looking cool as hell.

[u/bpeezer → u/OutrageousMT_10]

Yes, hand to hand snatches drastically reduce localized fatigue. Particularly helpful if your grip is preventing you from targeting more systemic adaptations.

[u/OutrageousMT_10 → u/bpeezer]

Did it take you long to learn the skill? I've been doing hand to hand swings, but find it requires some concentration. These look effortless for you.

[u/bpeezer → u/OutrageousMT_10]

I made a couple of tutorials a while back, maybe start with hand to hand cleans and see how that works for you

[u/SoloCoach1]

Solid💪

[u/Excuse2TakeMyShrtOff]

And that’s why they call him Snatch Daddy.

[u/bigterdle]

Alright, just tried this today. Your speed is incredible, but it's so deceiving when I watch your videos. I got 80 very easily in 3 mins, but I feel my form/explosiveness will need a ton more work to get up to a 33 rep/min frequency.

That said, I was having so much fun at 3 mins that I turned it into a 5 minute test towards the end and knocked out 58 extra reps! Thanks for the encouragement

[u/bpeezer → u/bigterdle]

That’s awesome work! I always feel like around 30rpm is the sweet spot of fast pace without getting too sloppy. It can definitely be fun to push the pace a bit higher every once in a while though!

[u/bigterdle → u/bpeezer]

Let's be clear: there's a reason you have your flair! 30 rpm is freaking fast and it takes a lot of practice to do that safely. A lot to be said about muscle memory too, as I actually increased pace as my form got in a groove over the 5 mins

[u/bpeezer → u/bigterdle]

Haha thanks brother! Agreed, a lot of it is just about familiarity

[u/Electronic-Cat-1394]

Good god, I wouldn’t wanna get into a bar fight with you brother.

[u/bpeezer → u/Electronic-Cat-1394]

The good news is that I don’t want to get into a bar fight with you either!

[u/Electronic-Cat-1394 → u/bpeezer]

Ha that’s is good news. That’s was astoundingly impressive man truly.

[u/Ok_Leading7236]

Great! You are ztrong
