Snatches and Weight Loss

Snatch day today.

24kg 10L/10R x 10 sets with 50 seconds rest between sets

Felt very good today.  Corkscrew descent with hook grip coming along very well.  No hand pain.  No problems with grip strength.  This is probably a combination of the corkscrew descent and 50 seconds rest between sets.

Workout was short today because of visitors and trying to get yard cleaned up.  Found that weeding in the rock bottom squat position was much more comfortable than bending over!

Weighed in a 199lbs Friday......haven't weighed under 200lbs since 8th grade!   I have continued a slow, steady weight loss over the past year with total of 15lbs dropped.  This is essentially all from kettlebells.  No diets used.  With the upcoming RKC in September, this weight loss could be significant as I am now very close to the 198lb weight class cutoff.  With the drop in weight, my required snatch test numbers will drop from 74 to 64.
