*Press the 28kg*
still not close. Did push press it the other day, and very nearly push-pressed the 32.... presses have been weak lately - I've been neglecting them.
*BU press the 20kg*
Achieved April 9, but this is not consistent - I miss it a lot (most?) of the time.
*BU TGU the 16kg on the left*
achieved in February
*BU TGU the 20kg on the right*
came incredibly close a while ago. Need to try it again!! Before the week is over.
*Pass my snatch test with the 24kg*
Well, the snatch test rules have changed again... I don't think I'll be doing 100 in 5 minutes this year. ;) What should this goal evolve to... maybe 100 with the 20? Suggestions welcome. :)
*Pistol the 28kg*
Haven't been training this at all. Okay seriously, have to find more time for presses and pistols!
*80 sets of 16kg MVO2, 6 reps*
achieved in March
*80 sets of 16kg MVO2, 7 reps*
Training has been going well - last session was 46 sets. This week hope to get to 56 sets.
*FMS arm-leg raise*
Still haven't tried at all. :/
*Turkish... I know I have the 40 in me. Why not train for that this year? Lots of 28kg TGUs to get there.*
I did a 36kg TGU on Sunday. I was pretty surprised with it, actually, and it felt AWESOME. First time having this heavy of a weight overhead. Pushing from kneeling to standing was pretty difficult, but successful! Strong all the way through, really, until my shoulder blades touched the ground again and I lost the bell. I'll keep working on these, I love heavy getups!
*2xBW Deadlift*
BW currently is around 143? And I've got 10-15 pounds to lose still. The DL training is good, though. This week is 1,2,3,1,2,3 with 170# (re-do from last week - pulls were slow, felt heavy) and 175#.

For your snatches, can you perform 100 in five minutes with an 8kg? How about a 12kg? If that's easy, try a 16kg. Done that? OK, work with the 20kg until accomplished.
Okay Howie, I'll try the 20kg. Really need to sand down that handle finally.
Does that mean you've already accomplished it with the 16kg?
Howie, you doubt me??
;)
I've done 100 consecutive 16kg snatches - not for time, just to do 100. It was a "let's see how hard/easy this will be" moment. I'm sure it was done under 5:00. Haven't done a TSC-style 5:00 16kg snatch test yet. That might be a consideration next year, especially after training deadlifts and 16kg MVO2.
Meaning... an actual TSC.
Oh, I would never doubt you. I know better than that.
So why not go for the 5:00 with the 16kgs tomorrow? Consider a low intensity day.
I worked a 10 minute set with the 16s last week as part of my tapering. Wasn't rushing, just kept my breathing controlled and kept a nice, steady pace. Hit 148 reps and it was easier than I expected.
I suppose I could squeeze that in before teaching and deadlifting...? If not, maybe I'll do it Friday. Honestly, I have no great need to see how many 16kg snatches I can do in 5 min. Time spent testing that could be time spent working on 24kg snatches or MVO2 or presses or pistols or....... But, hell, what's one day. :)
Do 100 snatches with the 20kg under 5 minutes. I did 100 snatches in 3:45 with the 16kg, so I'm sure you did it no problem. I'm planning on doing the same thing; it'll be neat to have someone else aiming for it, too. :)
Awesome job accomplishing so many goals already!
Laura, thanks! Any idea how close you are already?
Hey, Nikki, I know I've not said it ina while, but you are seriously one inspiring chic. Now, after having buttered you up...May I ask you how tall you are? And if so, How tall are you?:)
Dang girl! You are making some progress this year! When I grow up I want to press heavy KBs like you!! ;-) Send some of that strength to Iowa, oh, and some sunshine while you're at it. ha!
I'll throw one down for you. 20kg snatch, 200 in 10:00.
Jen, you can ask me anything! I'm 5'4". And, thank you for the kind words. =D
Amy, are you kidding me? This from the girl who got her 20kg press, and ranked in both the SSST and the UST? Please. ;) But, thank you, too, for the kind words. =D
Mr. Whitley... now that's just mean. 100 in 5 isn't challenging enough?!? Good grief! But thanks for the push. It's evil, and I like it.
Nikki, Thanks for sharing what your goals are. You are one strong girl and give the rest of us women something to aspire to. I did go on to get my RKC in San Jose in Feb. It was awesome. I would love to come to one of your classes so I can see how you do them since I'm going to start teaching up here in Tahoe. Peggy Silveri RKC
A different point of view.
Challenge a goal.
A goal that your kettlebell students can follow after you. Accomplish a goal desirable for them.
Peggy, a belated and very enthusuastic congratulations to you!! You must have been a total rock star there. :)
Taikei, I like how you think. That's a good idea.
Hi Nikki, a 36kg TGU is incredible, VERY impressive! You should be very proud of yourself!
Thanks, Danny!
Congrats on that big TGU Nikki. That's more than I can do yet and I'm a giant guy. You've got a lot of people looking up to you and you deserve it!
Very kind of you to say, Josh. :)
