Clean and press 4 x 6l/6r: used a 26 lb kbell
High pulls 4 x 5l/5r: used a 35 lb kbell
I thought since I eventually want to snatch a 35 lb bell, I might as well start getting comfortable doing high pulls with one. I wanted to do 10 reps but didn't feel comfortable at first. I think by the end of doing the high pulls, I was feeling more confident so probably next time.

Done with a 26 lb kbell
All swings and half TGU done with a 35 lb kbell
Clean and press 5l/5r
Half TGU 3 x 1l/1r
Clean and press 5l/5r
Swings: 2 x 10l/10r
Clean and press 5l/5r
Bent arm pullover 3 x 8
Clean and press 5l/5r
Snatches: 8l/8r
Clean and press 5l/5r
Front squats: 5l/5r
Clean and press 5l/5r
I hate front squats. I just don't like doing them.
I followed the rkc certificate template but did some variations. I'm also trying to prepare myself for pressing the 35 lb kbell and thought maybe I should increase my volume before I attempt it again.
I also decided to do the half TGU to build up some strength to be able to do the full TGU.
Did I mention that I hate doing front squats?

Secret Service Snatch Test
Greetings all,
Done with a 26 lb kbell:
10 minutes of snatching
Snatches: 10 x 5l/5r
Total: 100 reps
Circuit: swing, clean, press 2 x 5l/5r
I attempted to do the 10 minute snatch test and I didn't really know what to expect but I got 50% of the goal and I've gotten back into kettlebells now for 3.5 months. I think that's alright!
I am sweating a lot and I think I will try to test myself once a month to see if I can hit the 200 mark.

Done with a 35 lb kbell
TGU 2 x 1l/1r
Swings: 3 x 40
This was my first time using a 35 lb kbell for the TGU. I had difficulty with keeping my wrist aligned with my forearm as it was bending a bit back due to the increased weight. I kept my reps low since this was my first time trying it out. My form was good with the exception of the wrist.

Done with a 26 lb kbell
Clean and press 5 x 5l/5r
I was rather unmotivated to work out today but I had to do something so I kept it simple. I find pressing the 26 lb is still more challenging on my left side. I got my Enter the Kettlebell book yesterday and started flipping through it. I already have the dvd and I think it's always important to pay attention to your form. I eventually want to have some training sessions with a professional but financially now is not a good time as I am saving up to do my trip to Europe.
