Training day


For time:
50 situps
150 KB swings
50 situps

The Secret Service has a signature physical ordeal all of its candidates must live through.  It is the Secret Service snatch test, and it involves a 24kg kettlebell (16kg for women), a ten minute timer, and all the determination you can gather.  This legendary test of strength and willpower only asks that you do as many snatches as possible in the ten minutes you are allotted.  A total considered "good" is 200 completed reps, but many aim above and far beyond this total.  It's not a good test to do if you are new to training with kettlebells, but if you're getting 30+ reps of snatches per hand and are hungry for a challenge, this one is more than worthy.


Above is a good instructional for the KB snatch, and you can come to either of the Drews or Jeff to get some fine-tuning on technique.
