Seriously "Laughing My Ass Off"!...Diana,<br /><br />Seriously "Laughing My Ass Off"!Girlfriend, would I lead you astray?<br /><br />Combining swings with snatches AND pacing? Good Lord...does it get any better? Well, it did get better (read the updated version). <br /><br />Funny you should mention the 14kg....when I was repeated the updated version of this workout in Ventura, I took the 14kg with me! Yeah right! No freakin' way....at least not that day....but look for it soon!<br /><br />The HV Santch video will indeed combine swings with the snatches in Part 2....part 1 will focus on snatch training only.Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-39433532344424534132010-11-09T17:11:41.794-08:002010-11-09T17:11:41.794-08:00sybil,

No one had to tell me how to do it....just get from one hand to the other...of from one hand to two!<br /><br />Some of the smaller bells have more narrow handles and one cannot even fit 2 hands inside...no worries, we all find our way.<br /><br />But you are right about all shifting happens at the top of the swing, same as all transitions (transfers)....top of the swing.<br /><br />Unless you are snatching for reps and time. Training the transfer at the bottom to save reps and time...but that is an advanced skill only used for testing.Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-43634631216689474802010-11-06T08:26:06.834-07:002010-11-06T08:26:06.834-07:00Tracy,
Prediction:
RKC year 2014: Day 4 will have...Tracy,<br />Prediction:<br />RKC year 2014: Day 4 will have to be added to consist of high volume swings and high volume snatch training and workouts!<br />I first read this workout at 4am for crying out loud, so my first thing I have to remember is NOT to comment at that time of day. This workout was an absolute smoker!<br />Good lord, what kind of a mind thinks of this crap. Are you kidding me??!! (Please insert my sarcastic tone anywhere here) This could easily be a workout to be done at the RKC. I really thought the snatch transfer (your word!) went okay. My first thought was that it would throw off rhythm. But it didn't, it in fact gave me the "break" my body needed to continue with this beast of a workout. And of course, running through my mind at the beginning was that; "Tracy used a 12kg, hmmm, I bet I could do this with the 14kg" Thank God I didn't listen to THAT gremlin in my mind. I remember the very last part of your post stating to be careful what bell size you end up choosing. <br />This is a hard, yet easy to follow workout. This smoked my arse. This made my day! This IS a keeper. I can only say that I hope this is one of "advanced" workouts destined to be on the HV Snatch DVD!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677754284276322596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-78921243826311160382010-11-05T18:08:34.909-07:002010-11-05T18:08:34.909-07:00Hi Tracy,
thanks again for the free video.
I'...Hi Tracy,<br /><br />thanks again for the free video.<br /><br />I've had my kettlebells for 2 weeks now and have been practicing TGU and swings (1 and 2 handed). Today I attempted your video and got to the 24 minute mark before I had to stop. Whew!<br /><br />Anyway, my question.....can you talk me through the transition in regard to the hand position? When learning the single handed swing, "they" said to grab the handle in the corner with thumb and first finger (if using my right hand, I'd grab the bell in the left corner). So, when I transition from single to double hand, do I still use that same positioning? Just shift my hand back and forth - I assume at the top of the swing?<br /><br />Thanks!KrisRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329097418939443256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-61419727000036630672010-11-05T05:27:24.853-07:002010-11-05T05:27:24.853-07:00Diana,

And as the 4 sets in this rotation build, it ladders down the swing reps and ladders up the snatch reps....so you will end the workout without having to "interupt" your snatches!<br /><br />I particularly like getting my HV swings and snatches in at the same time. For me swings are a more intense workload...snatches are like a vacation, especially 10/10 per minute pace.<br /><br />PS I did about 800 swings with my first client just prior to this workout....Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-75325265878198398862010-11-05T02:29:26.540-07:002010-11-05T02:29:26.540-07:00Tracy,

Hate that, what I like to call my, "interruption in the flow" of things. Tends to throw me off. I like the rhythm of a high volume snatch workout for sure, but "for me" I can see those transfers will screw with my flow. I'll give it a try and see, who knows, I could be completely wrong! <br />Have a good weekend at the Hardstyle!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677754284276322596noreply@blogger.com
