The Challenge Breakdown

The structure is simple: do KB snatches for 1 minute, followed by 1 minute of rest. Repeat this cycle for 10 rounds, totaling 20 minutes.

Your goal is to maximize repetitions in each 1-minute rounds, tracking your reps per round to calculate your overall total. This number becomes your benchmark to match or surpass when you revisit the challenge.

How to Perform the Snatches

• Work each arm equally: In each 1-minute round, perform as many kettlebell snatches as possible with one arm, then switch to the other arm and match the rep count.
• Example strategy: Aim for 8–10 reps per arm. If time remains in the minute, alternate single reps between arms until the clock runs out.
• No rest during the work period: Push through the full minute, maximizing your rep count without pausing.

Choosing the Right Weight

Select a kettlebell that's approximately one-third of your body weight. The weight should challenge you but allow you to maintain proper form throughout the rounds.

Track Your Progress

Record the number of reps completed in each round and calculate your total at the end. Write it down, this is your baseline. The next time you tackle this challenge, aim to meet or exceed that number to measure your progress.
