When I ran it, I did a set of heavy double swings of 20. Perfect amount.
I just think snatching every day or 5 x a week, no matter how few isn't great for the joints, tendons, or hands. One pinch and a blister will throw that idea out the window.
In my opinion, the snatch is harder on the body than any kettlebell exercise. Maybe that's why it's my favorite. as well.
Disagree. If you practice the snatch enough to develop good technique with appropriate loads for long enough your body will adapt in time. This morning I did 220 snatches in 44 sets of 5, 40 with 20kg and 4 with 24kg and I'm older than dirt.
I think the load on the joints, tendons and hands is actually a benefit rather than a disadvantage if managed properly. I'm snatching 2 to 4 days per week, waving volume and load. If I were doing it 5 days per week I'd do less volume in a day but keep about the same weekly volume, probably waving load and volume a bit more.
Agree or disagree, that is some great work. Congrats.
