Regular class workout today = presses + squats + rows + deadlifts
Then finished with some snatches. No "Dry Hands" ... chalk only.
Snatches
3 reps each side 24 kg
2 reps each side 36 kg (Just to touch something heavier)
8 min 16kg @ 12 rpm = 96 reps (3360 lbs)

Dry Hands #2
Still checking out "Dry Hands". For jerks, I used no chalk. For snatches, I use "Dry Hands" + chalk.
5 min 2KB Jerks 12 kg @ 6 rpm = 30 reps (1590 lbs)
I am still learning how to do this so that it doesn't KILL my knee. If I keep the weight in the center of my foot it is much better. Stacking the kettlebells seemed to be the best option this morning.
10 min Snatches 16 kg @ 12 rpm = 120 reps (4200 lbs)
"Dry Hands" + chalk works really well! Much improvement already in making the transition to the "locked" position at the bottom. A little fatigue built up in the forearms and shoulders ... but other than that it went well.

Dry Hands
Checking out this "Dry Hands" product....
5 pullups
Clean & Press 5 each side 16 kg
Clean & Press 5 each side 24 kg
Cleans 10 each side 32 kg
Snatches 12 each side 24 kg
(Hands feel a little sticky -- will apply chalk)
Snatches 8 min @ 12 rpm = 96 reps (16 kg)
(Dry Hands + chalks seems like good combination)
Did better with downswing of snatch and "locking" the bell at the bottom. I found that I can make the transition better if I feel like I am tossing the kettlebell away from me.

No Show
My workout buddies didn't show up today...
2 min Swings 16kg
3 min 2-kb jerks 12kg @ 6 rpm = 18 reps
4 min Snatch 24 kg @ 12 rpm = 48 reps
Did 1 rep with 2 kbs, LCCJ 32 kg (testing the water - things change when the weights get heavier!)
I still have trouble with the downswing of the snatch. Can't reliably get it from the top position to the "locked finger" position at the bottom.

Journey to Ixtland
I have been working with kettlebells for almost 4 years. I might post some complete workouts here but the primary effort is to log the progress of GS work.
Today David and I did two timed sets..
8 min Snatch, 16 kg, 16 rpm = 128
8 min LCCJ, 16 kg, 6 rpm = 48
