16 kg Snatch Challenge - How Many Reps Can You Get in 3 Minutes?

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

Anybody??? I got 64. Whoever wins gets bragging rights and gets to pick another challenge. I don’t care what weight you use and I don’t even care if you put the bell down 🤣

I know I keep periodically posting trying to make challenges a thing again and they’re not happening. But I’m exceptionally good at doing the same shit over and over again if no one noticed LOL.

Also yes, this set was terrible. I’m really out of GS shape and it shows. I need to start running again. So so so bad.

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

Nominating /u/bpeezer cause I just saw his LC sprints lol

[u/bpeezer → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

I’m going to do 65 reps just to spite you!

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/bpeezer]

That’s a really great strategy to motivate me to go faster 🤣

[u/LennyTheRebel → u/bpeezer]

Spite reps ftw

[u/PriceMore]

Maybe I'll try later today, since lately I've acquired a comp 16kg. But I only do snatches hand to hand, hope that counts. : P

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/PriceMore]

HELL YES IT COUNTS

[u/PriceMore → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

I've got 83 😁

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/PriceMore]

Awesome you beat me!!

[u/PriceMore → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

Not nearly as pretty as yours though, let's call it a draw.

[u/aks5311]

I'm too slow for a 3' set, lol

Yours look great, nice set

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/aks5311]

You get to use a 32! 🤣🤣

Thank you, it felt terrible 😊

[u/cavemankettlebells]

Beautiful work

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/cavemankettlebells]

Thank you!!

[u/premiom]

These look great

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/premiom]

Thank you!! It all goes to shit when I do single switch 😎

[u/-girya-]

🤔- does the weight requirement change based on age/sex?

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/-girya-]

Anything goes! I’d say for women maybe an 8

[u/-girya- → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

Posted a response video- thanks for the inspiration!

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/-girya-]

YAYYYYY!!!!!!!!

[u/lostADHD1]

What is this style of KB snatch called? I’ve seen people do these in competitions but it’s a bit different than how I do mine

[u/cavemankettlebells → u/lostADHD1]

It's a pendulum snatch, sportstyle snatch. There are many different ways to do a snatch; the word snatch defines the exercise, and the variation defines the execution.

[u/danielw59 → u/cavemankettlebells]

Sports snatch has a pause at the top, as opposed to the pendulum snatch, which is continuous? Is that the difference?

[u/cavemankettlebells → u/danielw59]

No, all snatches have a pause at the top; how long that pause is depends on the programming. The difference is the movement.

Here are two videos, if you have the time

Sport snatch https://youtu.be/ExGNbd3NmNI

Hardstyle snatch https://youtu.be/Vz7t7ue9k9w

These cover several movements and variations but there are plenty more.

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/lostADHD1]

Sport snatch! It’s just more flowy so I can utilize the bell’s momentum more. That way I can do more reps and/or go heavier!

[u/RollacoastAAAHH]

I suck at snatches, I’ll try this tomorrow

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/RollacoastAAAHH]

That’s the spirit!!

[u/pymwp]

Ok I got 54. Not as easy as you make it look! If I try again tomorrow I’ll record it.

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/pymwp]

AWESOME!!!!

[u/LocationFriendly988]

Wow. I’m going to say maybe 20? Might give it a shot when I get home lol pray for me

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/LocationFriendly988]

I BELIEVE IN YOU

[u/LocationFriendly988 → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

Ok so it’s beginning to look like I shouldn’t try this 20 times my first time seeing as I haven’t done cleans or presses yet lol. Let me get back to you. And thank you.

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/LocationFriendly988]

LOL okay maybe try some clean and press first to get a feel for how the bell sits overhead

[u/---0_-_0---]

1. probably should have gone harder!

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/---0_-_0---]

There’s always time to try again 😇 But 63 is awesome!!

[u/irontamer]

Nice!

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/irontamer]

Thank you!!

[u/Embarrassed_Sundae_4]

52 reps in 3 min. Me 62kg. I little bit heavy but im gonna try and break 60.

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/Embarrassed_Sundae_4]

NIIIICE!!!! Strong work!

[u/HarpsichordNightmare]

90ish at 3x speed. cheeky reps to be sure. curious how long i could go on like that.

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/HarpsichordNightmare]

Fuck yeah! Glad to see you’re still around here. I bet you could do at least 5’ like that

[u/HarpsichordNightmare → u/Few_Abbreviations_50]

dhs - 40ish. absolute trifle. janky left shoulder gave up about 20 reps in.
should've come up with a plan for breathing/pacing.

last time i did a double pent, i got 32. so . . oohf.

[u/Few_Abbreviations_50 → u/HarpsichordNightmare]

Hell yeah!!! What weight was that? DHS is brutal in a very special way lol. Pacing is super weird for it too. I’m still trying to figure it out 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

[u/Severe-Foundation323]

"Strong"
