Anyone who has failed has put the bell down. No one who has kept the bell up in the air the entire time has failed. <br />==> THE ONES WHO FAIL ARE THE ONES WHO CAN'T REST AT THE TOP. ALSO, they are strict on lockouts. A lot of people think they are snatching to 12 o'clock are actually snatching to 10:30 at speed. <br /><br /><br />Can you put it down, sure. Should you, NO. The reason: When you put the bell down, you have to pick it back up, get it moving, and snatch it. If you rest at the top, there is no wasted motion.<br /><br />I have done the snatch test in 3:20, so I COULD put it down. But the thing is they don't even let you go fast enough (visible stop at lockout) to get tired. So why put the bell down.<br /><br />Hand care is NOT OBVIOUS at the cert. The cert is a walking wounded for hand care. <br /><br />Also, not going to Philly, but I know at least 3 people at San Jose that passed their snatch test but failed because they did not practice one of the basic 6. Don't be stupid in your training.<br /><br />The lower weight class for using the 20kg at the cert is 132lbs. If you are close, make weight. If you can't, don't call yourself a trainer. Someone coming to a cert to be a trainer should be able to make weight.Faizal S.

Check the DragonDoor.com forum for specifics. The most notable are the pullup requirement and I think if you are around 130lbs, you can use a 20kg instead of a 24 kg.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663627545584203414.post-51049630839289659912010-09-13T13:45:14.231-07:002010-09-13T13:45:14.231-07:00Faizal,

I found doing 70-80 and then putting the bell down on the ground and doing some fast & loose for 30-40 seconds and then doing the last couple of reps just sweet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663627545584203414.post-6795490992368056612010-09-13T11:43:05.792-07:002010-09-13T11:43:05.792-07:00Great list!

Do you mean don't put it down or let it hang if you have to rest, but keep it overhead?<br /><br />Some of these are more well known (like hand care) but 2,3, and 7 especially are great inside tips!<br /><br />ThanksShaunhttp://www.lock8kettlebells.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
